Initial Herschel Results
The Herschel Space Observatory is now since more than half a year in space. The first web releases, documenting the progress in-flight, have drawn great interest among media and astronomers alike, and expectations throughout the astronomical world have rapidly been building up. The progress towards an operational facility so far culminated in the Science Demonstration Phase Initial Results workshop held in Boadilla del Monte outside Madrid just before Christmas. The two-day event of presentations of early in-flight results and lessons learned was attended by about 220 astronomers, and was considered a landmark event! And the HIFI initial results are really still to come!
