Gareth Williams' Personal Web Pages
About Me
I studied astronomy at University College, London, and since 1990 have been
an astronomer in (what is now called) the Solar, Stellar and Planetary
Sciences Division of the
Harvard-Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics.
Work-Related Stuff
I am Associate Director of the
International Astronomical Union's
Minor Planet Center,
and I also serve as Webmaster for the
Minor Planet Center
and
IAU Commission 6's
Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams.
Check out the eponymous minor planet. There's
also a minor planet named after Leighton
Buzzard.

Gareth Williams page, courtesy of Korado Korlevic. Rumours that I am
an alien are completely without foundation.
