2009 – International Year of Astronomy
2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, for those who aren’t already aware of it. The International Astronomical Union is planning on holding many events to celebrate IYA across the world, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for things you can get involved in – from listening to podcasts (this one included!) which will feature interesting astronomy stories, to things you can get out and about and physically participate in.
Please go and check out the web site http://www.astronomy2009.org to learn more about IYA
You’ll also notice in the Portal To the Universe section a couple of astronomers who have previously been guests of the show as well!
You can find further astronomy blogs and podcasts (including this one of course) at http://www.portaltotheuniverse.org/EarlyBirdReg/AstroFeeds.php
So please have a look and see what may tickle your interest.
