Introduction of Astronomy Session and Speakers, Scott Tremaine, Richard Black Professor, School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study. Freeman Dyson celebrates his ninetieth birthday and also marks his sixtieth year as a Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study. Dreams of Earth and Sky, conceived by Dyson's colleagues in the School of Natural Sciences, was an opportunity to provide a perspective on his work and impact across the sciences and humanities. Held on the Institute campus from September 27-28, the program featured a range of talks on mathematics, physics, astronomy, and public affairs that reflect both the diversity of Dyson's interests and his ability to open new dialogues and inspire generations of scholars.
