"Introduction to Fundamental Astronomy" takes readers on an enlightening journey through the celestial realms, exploring the principles and achievements that have shaped our understanding of the cosmos. We navigate the historical milestones of astronomy, from ancient astronomers like Copernicus and Kepler to modern discoveries in exoplanet research, gravitational wave astronomy, and cosmology. Readers will explore the Copernican Revolution, Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, and the cosmic microwave background radiation that reveals the universe’s infancy. We delve into stellar evolution, the quest for extraterrestrial life, and the profound mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. With engaging narratives, vivid illustrations, and accessible explanations, "Introduction to Fundamental Astronomy" invites readers on a captivating odyssey through the wonders of the cosmos. We make complex astronomical concepts accessible to enthusiasts, students, and anyone curious about the vastness and beauty of the universe.

Dear Friends, It seems like it was only yesterday that we drove the last of you to the airport. The memories and the spirit of the Scientific Detectors for Astronomy Workshop (SDW2002) remain fresh and strong. For us, this was a very special event, a great gathering of what may be one of the friendliest and most cooperative technical communities on our little planet. We have tried to capture the spirit of the Workshop in these Proceedings and we hope you are able to relive your week in Hawaii. For those readers who did not attend, we invite you into this community. As you probably noticed, there is a new name on the cover: Jenna Beletic was the ace up our sleeve for these Proceedings. As a summer intern at Keck, she took up the task of organizing, proofreading, editing and formatting the papers. She also made the graphics (her artistic talents shine on pages xxxiii and xxxv), contacted authors and prepared the mountain of paperwork which goes with producing a book. Jenna’s enthusiasm at learning, her passion for the job and creativity (e. g. find 100 ways to get Paola and Jim to do their jobs) have been a motivating addition to our team of “old workshop foxes”...... and a source for a good deal of paternal pride. We are honoured to have her as a fellow editor.

Journey beyond Earth's atmosphere and embark on an awe-inspiring exploration of spacecraft and their transformative role in our understanding of the cosmos. In this comprehensive volume, we delve into the captivating history of space exploration, tracing the evolution of spacecraft from early satellites to sophisticated probes capable of traversing vast distances and providing invaluable data about our solar system and beyond. We witness the pioneering missions that have shaped our understanding of the planets, moons, and celestial bodies that populate our cosmic neighborhood. From the first steps on the Moon to the daring ventures to Mars and beyond, we celebrate the triumphs and challenges that have marked the path of space exploration. Moreover, we delve into the intricate technologies that power spacecraft, enabling them to navigate the harsh conditions of space and transmit valuable information back to Earth. From propulsion systems that defy gravity to intricate instruments that capture stunning images and data, we explore the marvels of engineering that make space exploration possible. Furthermore, we examine the profound impact of space exploration on our lives here on Earth. From satellites that provide essential communication and navigation services to space-based telescopes that unveil the secrets of the universe, we uncover the myriad ways in which space exploration has revolutionized our understanding of our place in the cosmos. As we journey through the pages of this book, we will not only gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of space exploration but also ponder the profound questions it raises about our origins, our place in the universe, and the potential for life beyond Earth. This book is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the vastness of space, the ingenuity of human exploration, and the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our planet.

Seated in a sun-lit corner of his 17th century Dutch house, his hand touching a celestial globe, Johannes Vermeer's "Astronomer" seems to pon der about the mysteries of the universe. We might make the trip to Paris and ask him, in the Louvre, what precisely is on his mind. Unfortunately, there will be no answer. But we do know what his mind was not on. It was not on the approaching deadlines for the proposals he would have to write for getting funds and telescope-time, not on the meeting of the observing programs committee, not on his refereeing duty for the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, nor on his university's tightening budget for science. In the Kapteyn Institute at Groningen I stand face to face with the im pressive portrait of J.C. Kapteyn, painted in the year 1918. Seated at his desk he is doing his calculations with pen, pencil and tables, perhaps check ing the work of his skilled staff of human computers. Early in his career he had completed his magnum opus, the Cape Photographic Durchmusterung in collaboration with his close friend David Gill at Capetown, South Africa.

Space telescopes are among humankind’s greatest scientific achievements of the last fifty years. This book describes the instruments themselves and what they were designed to discover about the Solar System and distant stars. Exactly how these telescopes were built and launched and the data they provided is explored. Only certain kinds of radiation can penetrate our planet's atmosphere, which limits what we can observe. But with space telescopes all this changed. We now have the means to "see" beyond Earth using ultraviolet, microwave, and infrared rays, X-rays and gamma rays. In this book we meet the pioneers and the telescopes that were built around their ideas. This book looks at space telescopes not simply chronologically but also in order of the electromagnetic spectrum, making it possible to understand better why they were made.

The idea for another conference on the theme of Infrared Astronomy with Arrays actually goes back to March 1987. At a party held in my home at the end of the Hilo conference, excitement was running high and everyone present was in favor of another meeting. I recall suggesting to Al Fowler that the next meeting could be in Tucson. Despite Al's reply to the effect that Hawaii was a much nicer location, a meeting was held in Tucson three years later. That meeting focussed more on the astrophysics which had been accomplished with the detectors, rather than on techniques and methods. However, it was already apparent in February of 1990 that a new generation of larger m arrays would soon supersede the 64x64 class of devices and so, having just moved from the UK Infrared Telescope unit in Hawaii to join with Eric Becklin in his move to UCLA, it seemed to me that another Hilo-style conference was appropriate, and Eric agreed.
