In summary, this conversation covers a variety of topics related to astronomy and cosmology, including helpful websites, articles on cosmological parameters and inflation, the finiteness or infiniteness of space, dark matter, neutrino astronomy, high-energy cosmic rays, and the recent test of General Relativity. Useful constants and formulas are also provided. Additionally, there are links to articles discussing cosmic topology and its potential role in determining the shape and size of the universe.

Good 43 minute video of probing interviews with Abhay Ashtekar and Ivan Agullo.

Skydive Phil made it.

Quarlep, a newcomer, pointed to this "wonders of the cosmos" compendium:

== George Jones in response to question by Wabbit ==
A technical reference on the effect of the universe's expansion on gravitationally interacting systems is "The influence of the cosmological expansion
on local systems" by Cooperstock, Faraoni, and Vollick,

http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9803097A reference (somewhat less technical than the reference above) on electrically interacting systems (e.g., atoms) is "In an expanding universe, what doesn’t expand?" by Price and Romano,

On the same topic (local effect of expansion), a later paper expanding on the above: Valerio Faraoni, Audrey Jacques, Cosmological expansion and local physics (http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.1350)

Wabbit found and linked us to "General Relativity without Calculus" by Jose Natario
http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~jnatar/RM-12/Geom_Rel.pdf
excellent text for bright motivated high school students
interesting well-posed exercises (with solutions given in a different section) that can be done with ordinary algebra and trig if you see how.
It has a chapter on cosmology with Friedmann equation
