We compute the Poincare polynomial and the cohomology algebra with rational coefficients of the manifold M_n of real points of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. This cohomology is a quadratic algebra, and we conjecture that it is Koszul. We also compute the 2-local torsion in the cohomology of M_n. As was shown by the fourth author, the cohomology of M_n does not have odd torsion, so that the above determines the additive structure of the integral homology…
