On Sunday the 9th, I’ll head out to Seattle, Washington, to represent Astronomy magazine at the 217th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. I haven’t been to one since 2009, so I’m pretty psyched (plus, Seattle is a wonderful city).
More than 2,700 astronomers will attend the meeting, which will cover topics ranging from planetary science to the history of astronomy to high-energy astrophysics. There are nearly three dozen press announcements scheduled, so expect to see lots of news on www.Astronomy.com/news. I’ll also blog and tweet about the conference, so keep an eye out for my updates.
