The new astronomy: opening the electromagnetic window and expanding our view of planet earth: a meeting to honor Woody Sullivan

Unlike all other electromagnetic apertures, the gamma-ray window was forced open by theorists at least a decade before the first photons passed through. Sources remain few by the standards of X-ray or radio astronomy, and the class with no unambiguous optical counterpart remains large. The twenty-four years over which the gamma ray bursters were poorly understood or misunderstood seemed very long to those of us who lived through them, though short compared to the eras of incomprehensibility for coronal lines and stellar pulsations.
