» Cosmology - A collection of links.
» Cosmology Books and Links - Annotated list of books, articles, and websites from a popular course at Sonoma State University.
» Cosmology made Simple - A brief, non-mathematical introduction to modern cosmology.
» Cosmology: A Research Briefing - An online book from the National Academy of Sciences. Includes chapters on CMBR, the large scale structure of universe, and the physics of the early universe.
» Distant Galaxies and Cosmology Models - Article on possible cosmological models.
» Galaxy Formation and the Intergalactic Medium - This site is dedicated to summarizing the research of Paul Shapiro's cosmology group. Of interest mainly to specialists.
» Good Cosmology Sites - Links to cosmology resources, and a tutorial by a UCLA professor.

» Introduction to Cosmology - These notes form an introduction to cosmology with special emphasis on large scale structure, the cmb anisotropy and inflation. In some places a basic familiarity with particle physics is assumed, but otherwise no special knowledge is needed.
» Introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background - Basic explanations of key concepts, including the Big Bang, expansion of the universe, and the ripples in the density of the early universe that led to the galaxies and stars we see today.

» NOVA - Runaway Universe - Examines the size, future and fate of the universe as well as the possible existence of others. Also explores what happens in a supernova explosion, a map of the universe on a cosmological scale, and the ability to spin a spiral galaxy on two axes using
» Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial - An illustrated introductory guide to the topic, attempting to summarize modern discoveries on the origin, current state, and future of our Universe.
» Phantom Energy and Cosmic Doomsday - Phantom energy, with negative sum of pressure and energy density, could lead to the universe tearing itself apart in a "Big Rip".
