The Symposium used to be held on the nice Wall Sheraton resort in Beijing, China within the interval August 25-30, 1986. the choice to be aware of the observational features of contemporary cosmology was once taken partly simply because this convention has are available in a interval while there were numerous overseas conferences on one point of contemporary cosmology, particularly the early universe and its attainable courting to particle physics. whereas that strategy is very fascinating, it has the drawback that its reference to a lot of observational cosmology is particularly oblique. therefore there was little chance to debate seriously the wealth of recent information which are now changing into on hand which endure at the constitution and evolution of the Universe yet now not continually on its early background. This Symposium used to be deliberate to hide all points of observational cosmology, with merely relatively minor tours into idea. approximately 2 hundred individuals attended from 21 nations. a complete of 26 invited papers and seventy three contributed papers got. This intended that everybody labored long and hard from nine A.M. to approximately 5:30 P.M. for 5 of the six days of the convention. as well as oral contributions, area used to be made on hand for poster papers and fifty six of those have been to be had for research at some point of the conference.

R. B. PARTRIDGE 32 I intend this to be a very general overview of recent observational results. Several more detailed papers, on measurements of the dipole anisotropy, the spectrum, and intermediate and fine-scale anisotropies, follow this review. { review paper 1 prepared at about the same time as this IAU symposium (Partridge, 1987). , Wilkinson, 1986; Partridge, 1986), I will omit in this written version of my remarks much of the detail I presented orally in Beijing. In particular, I will devote considerably less attention here to measurements of the angular distribution of the radiation.
