Scientists of the State Astronomical Institute. P.K. Sternberg (Moscow State University) talk about the most important events that occurred in astronomy at the turn of the new millennium. By a strange coincidence, it was this conditional line that was marked by several revolutionary discoveries in astronomy - both at the near borders of the universe and on the farthest. From one of their transfer, it is simply breathtaking! In recent years, it can be called without exaggeration a great decade of astronomy. And it is possible that this is only the beginning of its "Golden Age".
