2025 ASP Award Recipients Announced
Catherine Wolfe Bruce Gold Medal
About the ASP Awards
The ASP recognizes individual achievements in astronomy research, technology, education, and public outreach each year. Recipients of our awards have included luminaries such as Edwin Hubble, Vera Rubin, Isaac Asimov, Margaret Burbidge, Carl Sagan, and most recently, Katherine Johnson.
Our most prestigious award, the Catherine Wolfe Bruce Gold Medal, was established in 1889 by Catherine Wolfe Bruce, an American philanthropist and patroness of astronomy. The Bruce Gold Medal has been awarded annually by the ASP to a professional astronomer in recognition of a lifetime of outstanding achievement and contributions to astrophysics research and is one of the most important awards in the field.
The 2025 ASP Awards Gala to honor our awardees will be held on Saturday, November 8 at the Hilton San Francisco Airport Bayfront hotel in Burlingame, California. Tickets will be available soon.
