Herschel 200 Conference

Announcement: New Forums

We are excited to announce the launch of our new forums! You can access it forums.aavso.org. For questions, please see our blog post. The forums at aavso.org/forum have become read-only.

Hello all,

This event was brought to AAVSO's attention by the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution--they are holding a hybrid online/in-person conference with the Herschel Society at Queen Square, Bath on October 1st 2022. 

This conference is the centerpiece of the Herschel Society’s celebration of William Herschel’s achievements, on the 200th anniversary of his death. Although Herschel’s discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781 brought him widespread fame, his importance to astronomy rests much more on his pioneering work on the deep sky beyond our solar system over the subsequent decades.
