Cosmology is the study of the Universe as a whole. While
astronomy studies individual celestial objects such as stars,
planets, and galaxies, cosmology focuses on the big picture: How
the Universe works, how it came into being, and how it might end.
It studies the structure of galaxies and the structure of
space-time (warpage via black holes etc), the nature of time
itself, mass and energy, string theory, and whether there are
actually other Universes, in a 'neverending multiverse' or
omniverse.
Cosmology differs from Astronomy. Astronomy seems to concentrate
on the naming of stars and the description of Earth's solar system.
Cosmology concentrates more on the physiology of the Universe as it
were.

What is relativistic cosmology?
It is cosmology using Einstein's theories of special and general
relativity. This is the modern form of cosmology.
The old form, called Newtonian cosmology, is based on the laws
of Newton (which we now know are not accurate for big things such
as galaxies), but is sometimes still used as an educational device
(since it is simpler).
