“The first observation, literally since it was visible light that was seen, came at the General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady, New York, on April 24, 1947.”*

The synchrotrons and Free Electron Lasers within the Lightsources.org collaboration invite facility staff and users to join in with our 75 years of science with synchrotron light celebrations.

Lightsources.org is inviting all those connected with light source science to share their #My1stLight memories so that we can celebrate the amazing journey that the field has been on during the past 75 years.

Type of memories we are looking for:

1^st day at work at a light source

1^st time you used synchrotron light for an experiment

1^st time you visited a light source

1^st time you learnt about synchrotron light (and your thoughts at the time!)

1^st time you worked on a component for a light source

Any other light source related 1sts!

Format:

Choose your preferred format.  It could be a photo with a caption, short story, audio/video recording of your memory, a poem, song, artwork, comedy sketch, short play, post for Instagram or Twitter etc.  Whatever format people feel comfortable with is fine by us!
