The 1980's have been times of great excitement in Astrophysics and
Cosmology. Professors Dennis Sciama and Fabio Mardirossian and all
the other Members of the Organizing Committees are to be
congratulated for having given us a taste of this excitement in
Trieste, by inviting the leaders of the subject to the meeting they
have organized. The excitement has corne from the new observations
of the three-dimensional structure of the universe through a large
number of new measurements of redshifts. These have revealed that
clusters of galaxies are distributed on the surface of big empty
bubbles of diameters of the order of 20-50 Mpc. Additionally, there
is some evidence for invisible dark matter (whose composition is
not known) as well as evidence for the gravitational lens effect.
To cap this has corne the supernova of 1987, an event which last
occurred 383 years ago. For the first time in history, the neutrino
flux from the supernova was measured, giving limits to neutrino
masses and numbers of neutrino types. (The dark matter problem is
related to Particle Physics - beyond this standard model). It is
good to be alive when all this happens and to try to comprehend
this. Once again, our appreciation to the organisers and to those
who presented their beautiful results.
