International Year of Astronomy 2009                                         

The vision of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) is 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. All humans should realize the impact of astronomy and basic sciences on our daily lives, and understand better how scientific knowledge can contribute to a more equitable and peaceful society.     

Stay tune to this blog for IYA 2009 Drexel Libraries activities.  We are planning a display in Hagerty Library.  If you would like to work with me in planning and executing activities, please contact me.
