Welcome from the RAS President
"I look forward to welcoming the astronomy, space science and planetary science communities to NAM2008 at Queen's University Belfast. The National Astronomy Meeting has developed into a major part of the UK astronomy calendar and it is important as a show-case for all the bright young talent in the field and as a major opportunity to review our science." - Michael Rowan-Robinson, RAS President, December 2007
