This Series is edited on behalf of the Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy: Société Suisse d’Astrophysique et d’Astronomie, Observatoire de Genève, ch. des Maillettes 51, CH-1290 Sauverny, Switzerland Cover figure: Cygnus-X is an extremely active region of massive-star birth some 4500 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan. This picture, taken by Herschel’s far-infrared camera (Credit: ESA), illustrate the complexity of the star formation out of turbulent clouds. It is superimposed on the lower right by the Mönch supercomputer hosted at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS) in Lugano, Switzerland (Credit: CSCS), and on the upper left by the spiral galaxy NGC1232 (Credit: ESO) obtained by the FORS (FOcal Reducer and low dispersion Spectrograph) instrument on the 8 meters Very Large Telescope at Paranal, Chile (Montage, Credit: EPFL/Yves Revaz).
