The analysis of astronomical data was one of the early influences on the development of statistical ideas and methods. Now, with vast astronomical data sets being collected by advanced telescopes, things have come full circle, and astronomy is again one of the most exciting of statistical application areas.
 
The International Statistical Institute has established a committee and network to foster collaboration on astrostatistics.  The committee aims to support existing astrostatistical organisations, and to serve as a locus for dissemination of information, regarding education, conferences, websites, and publications in the area.  Full details are available on the ISI website.
