Dear All,

The International Year of Astronomy 2009
Cornerstone project, 100 Hours of Astronomy, is
on track to be the largest single science public
outreach event ever. More than 1500 events have
been registered in over 130 countries and this
number is increasing every day. 100 Hours of
Astronomy is a truly global project; an event on
a scale never attempted before, with more than
one million people expected to participate!

Please read more on the IYA2009 website:

Kind regards,

Pedro Russo
