The first ever scientific award dedicated to cosmology - the Cosmology Prize of the Peter Gruber Foundation - has been given to Allan Sandage of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and to James Peebles of Princeton University. The awards, which come with a cheque for $150,000, were announced at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in Manchester, UK, earlier this week.
