AJDI Awards 2017

Submitter: Carole Jackson & Francisco Colomer
Description: This year we did not have one Image of the Year Award winner, we had three! Ilse van Bemmel (top right) and Gina Maffey (top left) were jointly awarded the prize for their contribution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first VLBI observation, on 17 April 1967 in Canada. The VLBI technique is now very mature, and still provides the highest spatial resolution in astronomy, thanks to the ongoing global collaboration. Ilse and Gina are committed in advocating VLBI through an intense outreach program.

Besides the Image of the Year Award we had a special award for Jan Noordam (bottom right), the Award of Appreciation. This special award is presented to Jan for his enthusiasm to both encourage, and occasionally nag, us to submit a picture a day, wherefore he deeply deserves this award. AJDI is embedded in our profile such that without fail, Jan and his team ensure there is a daily update. Whilst most AJDI's reflect on progress and achievements, some are more personal or occasionally amusing. It is through Jan's efforts that AJDI is a continuing record of the vibrancy of all @ Dwingeloo. Well done Jan
