IWCMO Conference

Index

The International Workshop on one Century of Mars Observations (IWCMO) was successfully held on 17, ~20 September 2009 at Paris Observatory and Meudon Observatory, France. This was planned to cerebrate the splendid event on 20 September 1909 when Eug鈩e M. ANTONIADI obtained a superb drawing at Meudon which denied the presence of the so-called canals, just showing a leopard-skin-like markings near Syrtis Mj. ANTONIADI just wrote ʺLes plus belles images que jʹai eues sur Mars avec cet instrument (la lunette de 0m83) ont 騁 celles du 20 septembre 1909, qui rest鑽ent parfaites pendant plus de deux heures.ʺ

 

The day 20 September 2009 was really a centennial anniversary, and about 30 persons gathered from the world and about 20 thirty-minute talks were given during the period.

France), Richard McKIM (BAA, UK), Masatsugu MINAMI (CMO/OAA, Japan), Donald PARKER (ALPO, USA), Christophe PELLIER (SAF, France), William SHEEHAN (USA).
