2009 is the International Year of Astronomy
2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, so mark your calendars. See this proclamation to be voted on, which was subsequently passed. If you have any ideas of events you would like to see mark this year, please send them along. 2009 is the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first telescope. As well, it will be the 21st anniversary of Sky&Space. So there will be lots to celebrate
