Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti
Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti, Venice, Italy

This conference is being held to celebrate the huge contributions made by the Hubble observatory to our knowledge and understanding of the Universe. In addition to providing a retrospective view of the science, Hubble's current post-SM4 performance is being described and early scientific results presented following the first year of operation. The meeting is a forum to consider the future usage of Hubble and to discuss the contributions that the observatory will make in the context of new space and groundbased facilities. More

Alongside the conference is a major exhibition of Hubble images and hardware and also an art installation From the Distant Past created by Tim Otto Roth using projections of Hubble spectra and images outside the Palazzo Franchetti. More
