The International Year of Astronomy
The United Nations has officially designated 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Galileo turning his telescope to the skies and revolutionizing humanity's view of its place in the universe. Over the last four centuries, new telescopes have allowed us to expand Galileo's work and learn so much more about the universe, its geography and its evolution. Led by the International Astronomical Union, IYA will be a global celebration of progress in astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, with an aim of sharing the excitement of the day-time and night-time sky with as many people as possible. Its theme is "The Universe: Yours to Discover." The U.S. effort has the aim to provide "an engaging astronomy experience to every person in the country, to nurture existing partnerships, and to build new connections to sustain public interest in astronomy." We want to enlist teachers, museum educators, park rangers, amateur astronomy groups, community organizations, and the media, to help students, families, and the public gain a new appreciation of the fascination of the universe and a new understanding of the power of the scientific method. 2009 will be the kick-off year of what is likely to be a multi-year program of education and outreach.

Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Founded in 1889, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific increases public understanding and appreciation of astronomy--through scientists, educators, enthusiasts, and the public--as a vehicle for advancing science literacy and exchange. The Society publishes a refereed journal, a series of conference proceedings, a free on-line newsletter for teachers, a web-based magazine for its members, and a wide range of astronomy resources and activities for teachers, museum educators, amateur astronomers, and families. It sponsors eight international awards for achievement in astronomical research and education. With the support of the National Science Foundation, NASA, private foundations, and benefactors around the world, the Society offers a wide range of programs in education and outreach. Among these are: · Project ASTROTM -- A network of regional sites that link and train volunteer astronomers and 4th ­ 9th grade teachers as partners. · Family ASTRO -- A program to develop family kits and training for how to use them to do community astronomy. · The Night Sky Network -- An organization of over 200 amateur astronomy clubs engaged in public outreach · Astronomy from the Ground Up -- A project to train education staff at smaller museums and nature centers to do more astronomy. We invite you to join us.
