Scientific paper

In recent decades, we have seen a rapid increase in knowledge about our cosmic neighborhood. As more and more distant objects have been observed, the edge of the universe seems to have been pushed to the limits of time. We are the first generation of human beings able to view the major details of cosmic history, from the origins of the universe to the parade of galaxies through the skies. We are part of the universe, and our understanding of it will shape our future. In this chapter, we will briefly summarize the history of astronomy/cosmology, components of the universe on a scale larger than we have seen up to now (the solar system), ideas concerning their origin and evolution, the large-scale phenomena we observe in the universe, a description of the standard cosmological model, and a small experiment regarding the future of the universe.
