Scientific paper

Recent discoveries about the Universe reveal an amazing panorama of great relevance to the culture of the 21st century. However, as the amount of information and the variety of topics are overwhelming, it is important to capture the essence of these discoveries. I propose here a careful selection of simple and fundamental themes on the nature, distant origin and long term evolution of the Universe, that could be included at all levels of formal education and popular culture worldwide, as a legacy of IYA2009. The four themes that follow address a fundamental question: what do citizens of planet Earth need to know about the Universe?
