The past decade has been an incredibly exciting one for Cosmology: Two Nobel prizes were awarded for the discoveries of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, and dark energy. Ground and space-based observatories provided us with the most detailed maps of the early and late universe yet. Moreover, a six-parameter model can describe the statistics of all these cosmological datasets, nearly perfectly. Equally exciting advances in astrophysical observations, from neutron stars and black holes to high-energy neutrinos, have opened windows into extreme conditions that test the limits of our physical theories.

过去的十年对宇宙学来说是令人难以置信的激动人心的十年：两个诺贝尔奖被授予宇宙微波背景(CMB)各向异性和暗能量的发现。地面和天基天文台为我们提供了迄今为止最详细的宇宙早期和晚期地图。此外，一个六参数模型可以近乎完美地描述所有这些宇宙数据集的统计数据。天体物理观测方面同样令人兴奋的进步，从中子星、黑洞到高能中微子，都为检验我们物理理论极限的极端条件打开了一扇窗。
