Abstract
In this thesis I give a new description for the moduli space of stable n pointed curves of genus zero and explicitly specify a natural isomorphism and inverse between them that preserves many important properties. I also give a natural description for the universal curve of this space. These descriptions are explicit and defined in a straight forward way. I also compute the tangent bundle of this space. In the second part of the thesis I compute the ordinary integral cohomology ring from the above description and specify a basis for it.
