ESA celebrates the discovery of infrared light
12 December 2000
From 12 to 15 December the main observing priorities of FIRST, ESA's infrared observatory will be discussed by astronomers from all over the world at a meeting in Toledo, Spain. ESA will also take the opportunity to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the discovery of infrared light.
FIRST's main research topics include the formation of galaxies and stars. However, FIRST's observing time will be open to the world scientific community and therefore astronomers will discuss how to prioritise the use of the telescope.
