... Portrait of Galileo Galilei (in 1636) by Justus Sustermans. ... We are about three-quarters of the way through the IYA, the International Year of Astronomy. It is thus timely to think about the successes of the year and, as this ASP annual meeting title indicates, forge a path to a future of continued public engagement in astronomy. In this context of public understanding and appreciation of science, it is important to note the world view into which Galileo Galilei was born (1564). ...

Next: New Capabilities in the Astrophysics Multispectral Archive Search Engine . ... The Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre have started a project aimed at augmenting the way an astronomer can query the Hubble Space Telescope science archive. Today the HST archive contains more than 70,000 WFPC2 exposures. ... This approach is valid if the archive was to serve only the primary targets; it is certainly not prone to be a discovery tool. ...
