Astronomy Celebration Next 2 Years at Harvard Univ., NRAO, Green Bank Observatory, and Around The World
Greetings to all at NRAO, Harvard, Green Bank Observatory, and lovers of Radio Astronomy:
A lot has happened in preparation of next year's celebration and it could not have been done without all of you. I give you all my heartfelt appreciation. I wanted to give you an update as to where we are. Also, I wanted to put "the team" on one email thread originating from PAASE Institute https://about.me/paase If you know anyone else, I should add to the distribution, please let me know.
March 25, 2021 will be the 70th anniversary of the first detection of radio radiation from neutral atomic hydrogen in the Milky Way at a wavelength of 21 centimeters at Lyman Laboratory of Physics at Harvard University in 1951. This effort was completed by Harold I. Ewen, Ph.D. and his thesis advisor Edward M. Purcell, Ph.D. Today, the horn antenna sits at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia. In the following year, Saturday, March 5, 2022 will be the 100th birthday of Harold I. Ewen, Ph.D.
A celebration will be either on the Harvard campus or P.A.A.S.E. Institute metro center nearby in Cambridge, Massachusetts in April 2021 (stay tuned). Feature articles and postings are expected to be published in related news publications announcing this events. An award will be presented to Harvard University for 70 years of excellence in astronomy science. On that same day, a proclation will be signed by the P.A.A.S.E. Institute declaring Saturday, March 5, 2022 to be National Radio Astronomy Day to celebrate great accomplishments in this area of astronomy and science. Perhaps as the Pandemic softens, some activities can be put in place in 2022 (more to come on that).
Well, that's all the news for now. I'm putting together supporting information to create the feature article in relevant magazines/publications. If you have thoughts or other people to be added to the distribution, Please let me know at PAASEinst@gmail.com
Again, thanks to all for your support.
