    This review summarizes the first decade of development of weak lensing, tying together the mathematical basis for how lensing works with qualitative descriptions of early results from the field. While some of the specific details of how various aspects of the weak-lensing signal are measured and modeled have changed in the intervening 13 years, this article is still an excellent starting point for someone wanting to the learn the basics of how weak lensing works in practice.

    This is a database of galaxy-scale gravitational lenses, listing their coordinates, their image astrometry, photometry and spectroscopic data and, for some systems, a list of references. The database is not complete, and some of the data are unreliable or out of date, so it is important to double check the information (A).

    COSMOS was by no means the first time that dark matter mapping with gravitational lensing had attracted publicity. The year before, the lensing analysis of the Bullet Cluster was picked up as providing the "proof" of dark matter's existence. (E)

    One of the results of the analysis of weak lensing in the COSMOS field was a three-dimensional mass map, described by Massey et al as "the scaffolding of the Universe." Many news outlets covered the COSMOS dark matter map story, but in The Independent the map was presented covering the whole of the front page. (E)
