ELlA M. LEIBOWITZ Director, Wise Observatory Chair, Scientific
Organizing Committee The international symposium on "Astronomical
Time Series" was held at the Tel Aviv University campus in Tel
Aviv, from December 30 1996 to January 11997. It was organized in
order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Florence and George
Wise Observatory (WO) operated by Tel Aviv University. The site of
the 1 meter telescope of the observatory is near the town of
Mitzpe-Ramon, some 220 km south of Tel Aviv, at the center of the
Israeli Negev highland. There were two major reasons for the choice
of Time Series as the sub ject matter for our symposium. One is
mainly concerned with the subject matter itself, and one is related
particularly to the Wise Observatory. There is hardly any doubt
that astronomical time series are among the most ancient concepts
in human civilization and culture. One can even say that
astronomical time series preceeded astronomy itself, as the
impression of the day /night cycle on Earth is probably the first
and most fundamental effect that impress a. human being, or, in
fact, most living creatures on this planet. An echo of this idea.
can be heard in the Biblical story of Creation, where the concept
of night and day preceeds the creation of the astronomical
objects."
