Abstract
Thanks to the progress of observational astronomy, new data of cosmological significance is rapidly becoming available. Under the circumstances it is perhaps not wise to talk about “recent” developments. Some of the observations described in these lectures and the conclusions arrived at may well have become out of date by the time the lectures appear in print. As the symposium is devoted mainly to a discussion of elementary particle physics, for the sake of the noncosmologist in the audience, I will spend a few minutes describing the general background of the subject.
