Abstract
Observations from the Moon and the Earth-Moon system in the next century will improve our knowledge of the Universe and probably open several new windows to the very early period of its formation. Measurements of gravitational waves from the threshold of classical cosmology, low-energy neutrinos from the end of the lepton era, primordial magnetic fields, and young galaxy formation at high redshift will help us probe the post-recombination era. This, in turn, can extend and refine our picture of the origin of the Universe, a prospect particularly suited for the vantage point of the Moon as a scientific laboratory.
