2009 International Year of Astronomy.

Well it is four hundred years since Galileo invented the first telescope and to celbrate this, they (U.N) are declaring 2009 as the “International Year of Astronomy” . They are planning alot of events throughout the year, starting off with a stand at the BT Young Scientist exhibition at the RDS Dublin 7th to 10th of january. As far as I know it is admission free to the Astronomy presentation, so if you are in Dublin next Wednesday to Saturday it might be worth your while going ! All this astronomy stuff always fascinates me and reminds how insignificant man/people are in relation to the vastness of the Universe.
