Hey - did you know that the coming year – 2009 – is the international year of astromomy?
The reason is the 400th anniversary of Galilieo Galileis first use of a telescope – undoubtedly a major cornerstone in the history of astronomy.
So we all can look forward to a year full of events in the world of the astromy scientific community.
More info about the international year of astronomy can be found here:
That is amazing to think that it has been 400 years since we got our first great look into outer space. To think of how much that is still out there that is undiscovered is amazing.
Galilieo Galileis rules!!! But we should also remember people who sacrificed their lives for science a nd humanity and development of the outer space, such as Gagarin, for example! And probably when our children start thinking about the job search, we should remind them of the people like this, and perhaps they will follow their steps, and our planet will become better and better!!!
