    I NFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC The Crafoord Prize 2005 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy 2005 to James Gunn, Princeton University, USA, James Peebles, Princeton University, USA, and Martin Rees, University of Cambridge, UK, “for contributions towards understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe”. How was the Universe formed? One of the most obvious facts about the Universe is that it shows a wealth of struc- ture on all scales from planets, stars and galaxies up to clusters of galaxies and super-clusters extending over several hundred million light years. Astronomi- cal observations have shown that the galaxies are not evenly distributed, but are mainly found in clusters and enormous filaments (Fig. 1). Often this is referred to as the ’cosmic web’. The origin and history of this structure has long been one of the most important problems for astronomy and cosmology. The recipients of this year’s Crafoord Prize have all made fundamental contributions to the dramatic increase in our understanding of how this large-scale structure was formed. The first traces of structure in the Universe can be seen in the fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background radiation about 380,000 years after Big Bang (Fig. 2). The origin of the fluctuations can, however, be traced back to epochs much earlier in the history of the Universe when small quantum fluctuations gave rise Fig. 1. Two dimensional distribution of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The plot corresponds to a thin slice in the ’vertical’ direction, but covering most of the sky in the other direction.
