SYMPOSIA CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE NATIONAL OBSERVATORY

In 2010 we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the dedication of  
Kitt Peak National Observatory, the start of what has become NOAO and  
NSO. As part of the celebration, we are hosting two symposia in Tucson  
to highlight some of the scientific achievements of the past 50 years  
and to discuss the scientific opportunities to come, if not in the  
next 50 years, then at least for the next decade.

The first symposium is entitled From First Light to Newborn Stars and  
is scheduled for March 14-17. This will be followed by The Eventful  
Universe from March 17-20. Both symposia will include invited talks,  
contributed papers, poster sessions, and breakout sessions where  
people can explore problems of common interest in depth.

On March 17th, we have scheduled a special event: “Celebrating 50  
Years.” Both symposia will meet together on that day for talks by our  
distinguished invited speakers (Vera Rubin, Nick Suntzeff, Heather  
Morrison, Charlie Lada, and Alan Dressler are all confirmed). More  
details about the program for each symposium along with the  
registration forms can be found by clicking on the links above. If you  
wish to register for both meetings you need to sign up twice via the  
respective meeting pages. The registration for “Celebrating 50 Years”  
is included in the registration for either symposium. For those  
interested in attending only the events on March 17th, one-day  
registration options are available via this link.
