Countdown of the Year of Astronomy 2009
An HD trailer and the programme with the highlights of the year available
We are approaching the opening ceremony of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 on January 20 in the Museum for Communication in Berlin. The German trailer for the IYA 2009 is now available. The file has a size of 38 MB; please download the file only once and save it locally, rather than downloading it many times.
The Calendar is already well filled. A full programme awaits you in many areas of Germany. The amateur astronomical association "Vereinigung der Sternfreunde" issued a programme booklet concentrating on the astronomical events and giving observing hints. It also contains an overview of the main events.
