The development of Infrared astronomy over the past fifty years has transformed our view of the Universe. This year we celebrate five decades of IR astronomy at Caltech, from the first survey of the near-infrared sky at Mount Wilson, to the incredible achievements of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Spitzer Space Telescope, to the Palomar and Keck Observatories and finally the great promise of the Thirty Meter Telescope. In particular, we honor the contributions of Gerry Neugebauer, Keith Matthews, and Tom Soifer to the past, present and future of IR astronomy at Caltech.
