Nominations for the 2024 Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) Awards are open until March 15th 2024. Awards are given for achievements in teaching, instrumentation, outreach, amateur research, as well as scientific achievement (early career and life-long). The ASP recognizes individual achievements in astronomy research, technology, education, and public outreach each year. Recipients of our awards have included luminaries such as Edwin Hubble, Vera Rubin, Isaac Asimov, Margaret Burbidge, Carl Sagan, and most recently, Katherine Johnson.

The Awards nominations are now accepted annually from early January through March 15th. The nomination and distribution schedule can be found on each individual Awards page.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
