abstract
This work presents a summary of major cosmological results from the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) satellite mission. The results include a precise measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation intensity, discovery and maps of the CMB anisotropy, large scale observations of the CMB polarization, and the detection and measurement of the diffuse infrared background. This summary was occassioned by and is part of the proceedings for the 3K Cosmology Conference held at Rome in October 1998.

The Spectre of Underdetermination in Modern Cosmology
Modern cosmology is a successful empirical science, but the microphysical identities of inflation, dark matter, and dark energy may be permanently underdetermined by cosmological data.
