Twenty-five years ago George Coyne took over as director of the Vatican
Observatory. Under his leadership, the Specola has flourished, making its mark not only
in astronomical research but in educating the next generation of astronomers through the
Vatican Observatory Summer Schools (VOSS). Since the first Summer School in 1986, nearly
200 young scientists from 50 nations
have graduated from VOSS, an impact that is literally being felt around the world.
It is time that we say "thank you" to George for all he has done for the Vatican Observatory.
