Recent years have seen increasing evidence that the main epoch of
galaxy formation in the universe may be directly accessible to
observation. An gular fluctuations in the background relict
radiation have been detected by various ground-based instruments as
well as by the COBE satellite, and suggest that the epoch of galaxy
formation was not so very early. Combined optical and radio studies
have found galaxies at redshifts above 2. 0, systems that at least
superficially show the characteristics expected of large galaxies
seen only shortly after their formation. And absorption lines in
the spectra of quasars seem to be telling us that most cold gas at
early to intermediate cosmological epochs was in clouds having
roughly galaxy sized masses. What kinds of new observations will
best help us study this high redshift universe in future? What new
instruments will be needed? These are questions that loom large in
the minds of the Dutch astronom ical community as we celebrate 25
years of operation of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope.
Celebration of this Silver Jubilee has included a birthday party
(on 23 June, 1995), a commemorative volume looking at both the
history and the future of the facility ("The Westerbork Observa
tory, Continuing Adventure in Radio Astronomy," Kluwer 1996), and
an international workshop, held in the village of Hoogeveen on
28-30 August, 1995.
