The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is a global effort initiated by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through the day- and night-time sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery.
Check out the IYA2009 website for information about the initiative as well as additional resources and information on global IYA-sponsored projects.
