The AAS meeting includes a series of press conferences based on a range of themes. Presentations will highlight new research, including new types of planet and star formation, and the accidental discovery of a primordial galaxy.
Press conferences will be held in person during the conference, and streamed live on the AAS Press Office Page.
Note: Each press conference consists of a panel of scientists presenting 4-5 unique scientific results. The number listed in parentheses indicates the order of presentation for the listed result.
All press conferences are listed and will occur in Central Time.
