About 2500 scientists were expected for the joint meeting of the
American Astronomical Society (AAS) and the American Association of
Physics Teachers (AAPT) at the Town and Country Resort and Convention
Center, in San Diego, California on January 7-11, 2001.
Counting the AAPT attendees, the event, the 197th national meeting
of the AAS, was the Society's largest ever.

Live from San Diego - it's the
AAS!
It's 9a.m on Monday morning, 30 minutes before the opening of
the 197th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
Pictured in this scene is the Chandra X-Ray Center booth. The
plasma screen, which will be showing a Chandra video and
images, is ready to go. Chandra people are working on the
finishing touches, such as hooking up computers on which we'll
demonstrate the Chandra analysis software and unpacking the
handouts and cd-roms to be distributed.
