Astronomy is a scienti?c discipline that has developed a rapid and
impressive growth in Spain. Thirty years ago, Spain occupied a
purely anecdotal presence in the international context, but today
it occupies the eighth position in the world in publication of
astronomical articles, and, among other successes, owns and op-
ates ninety per cent of the world's largest optical telescope GTC
(Gran Telescopio Canarias). The Eighth Scienti?c Meeting of the
Spanish Astronomical Society (Sociedad Espanol a de Astronom a,
SEA), held in Santander in July 7-11 2008, whose p- ceedings are in
your hands, clearly shows the enthusiasm, motivation and quality of
the present Spanish astronomical community. The event brought
together 322 participants, who represent almost 50% of Spanish
professional astronomers. This percentage, together with the
continuously increasing, with respect to previous SEA meetings,
number of oral presentations and poster contributions (179 and 127
respectively), con?rms that the SEA conferences have become a point
of reference to assess the interests and achievements of
astrophysical research in Spain. The most important and current
topics of modern Astrophysics were taken into accountat
thepreliminarymeeting, aswell as the numberandqualityofparticipants
and their contributions, to select the invited speakers and oral
contributors. We took a week to enjoy the high quality
contributions submitted by Spanish astronomers to the Scienti?c
Organizing Committee. The selection was dif?cult. We wish to
acknowledge the gentle advice and commitment of the SOC members."
