Since the first French edition of the book emphasized rather the
solid facts of Cosmology than the detailed discussions of
controversial results, relatively few revisions were necessary for
the English edition. They were made early in 1979 and affected
about 5% of the text. The main revisions referred to the distance
scale, the dlstribution of galaxies, the X-ray observations of
clusters, the cosmic time evolution of quasars and radiogalaxies
and the 3 K radiation. A new short bibliography presents the recent
articles and the latest proceedings of Symposia; from these the
reader can easily trace a more complete list of refer ences. I am
happy to thank Professor Beiglbock for suggestions he made to
improve Part lIon Spaces of Constant Curvature, and Drs. S. and J.
Mitton for translating the manuscript into English. I also thank
with pleasure Marie-Ange Sevin for correcting the final version. J.
Heidmann March 1980, Meudon, France Preface The aim of this book is
to present the fundamentals of cosmology. Its subject is the study
of the universe on a grand scale: - on a grand distance scale,
since from the start, we shall be escaping the con fines of our own
Galaxy to explore space as far as the limits of the observable
universe, some ten thousand million light years away; - and on a
grand time scale, as we shall look back into the past to the very
first moments of the initial expansion, about twelve thousand
million years ago."
