Friday, August 22  13:40-15:40,  Room #12

Session Chair: Ken Kellermann

This is a standing item on the Commission J programmes of all URSI General Assemblies. The session will consist of papers that highlight prominent and high impact observations and discoveries over the past triennium. New observatories, such as ALMA, LOFAR and Spektr-R have shown how the observational envelope is being stretched by these new facilities.
