Dark skies and remote sites have attracted
world-class astronomical facilities
to the Southwest and supported a wide range of
research since the mid-1900s. Regional achievements
span areas in both science and technology including
optical and radio interferometry, as well as new
understanding of solar physics, planetary science,
star and galaxy formation and evolution, and the
creation and evolution of our universe. To support
the network of scientific research in the Southwest
and encourage interdisciplinary discussions, the
National Radio
Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and
New Mexico Tech
(NMT) are sponsoring the 35th Annual
New Mexico Symposium on Friday, 21 February 2020,
at the NRAO Science Operations Center (SOC) in
Socorro, NM.
