"Cosmology is the most scientifically rigorous, aesthetically elegant, and the most poetic of the sciences."
Peter Gruber, Chairman of the Board
The Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation
The Cosmology Prize honors a leading cosmologist, astronomer, astrophysicist or scientific philosopher for theoretical, analytical, or conceptual discoveries leading to fundamental advances in the field.
Since 2001, the Cosmology Prize has been cosponsored by the International Astronomical Union.
The Cosmology Prize acknowledges and encourages further exploration in a field that shapes the way we perceive and comprehend our universe. In doing so, the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation seeks to extend the pioneering legacy of, among others, Plato and Aristotle; Ptolemy and Copernicus; Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo; Newton and Halley; Einstein and Hubble.
The gold medal and unrestricted $500,000 cash prize are presented annually.
