Happy Birthday INT !

On 13 February 2004 the Isaac Newton Telescope was 20 years of continued operation on La Palma. During this period of time the INT has produced an impressive contribution to astronomy research: more than 1100 papers published in refereed journals. We thank all the staff and visiting astronomers who has made this possible! The accompanying pictures show the INT in its former location in Hertsmonceux in the late 60s, the official inauguration on La Palma on the 29th of June, 1985 and a recent view of the telescope. ¤
