Celebrate the International Year of Astronomy
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.
Activities will take place all over the world where collaborations will be made between professional and amateur astronomers, science centres and science communicators to celebrate this event. Already 129 countries are involved and well over 140 are expected to participate.
The Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre is offering a series of 12 themed-nights of stargazing throughout the year to help visitors to better understand the night sky. These events are taking place every third Thursday of every month and include an informative session in our theatre followed by an observation session from the rooftop.
