The Symposium was held at the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel in Beijing,
China in the period August 25-30, 1986. The decision to concentrate
on the observational aspects of modern cosmology was taken in part
because this conference has come in a period when there have been
several international meetings on one aspect of modern cosmology,
namely the early universe and its possible relationship to particle
physics. While that approach is extremely exciting, it has the
disadvantage that its connection with much of observational
cosmology is very indirect. Thus there has been little opportunity
to discuss critically the wealth of new data that are now becoming
available which bear on the structure and evolution of the Universe
but not always on its early history. This Symposium was planned to
cover all aspects of observational cosmology, with only
comparatively minor excursions into theory. Nearly 200 participants
attended from 21 countries. A total of 26 invited papers and 73
contributed papers were given. This meant that everyone worked hard
and long from 9 A.M. to about 5:30 P.M. for five of the six days of
the conference. In addition to oral contributions, space was made
available for poster papers and 56 of these were available for
study for the duration of the conference.
