The Vision of the AAS: To create a world where all people value and benefit from a scientific understanding of our universe.

Our Values:

  • Curiosity: We conduct research driven by our curiosity about the universe.
  • Integrity: We act with integrity, ethical behavior, and transparency as we perform our investigations and share our results.
  • Inclusivity: We use fair and accessible practices to create a diverse and welcoming scientific community.
  • Empowerment: We mentor and support our early career members, using our resources to create a positive environment for them and for our astronomical community.
  • Sustainability: We accomplish our work using environmentally sensitive actions rooted in scientific understanding.

The 247th AAS meeting (joint with the High Energy Astrophysics and Historical Astronomy Divisions) will be held 4-8 January in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting will be jam-packed with great scientific content and provide ample opportunity for networking with friends and colleagues.
