Welcome to the International Year of Astronomy (from APoD, NASA)
Astronomers all over planet Earth invite you to experience the night sky as part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009. This year was picked by the International Astronomical Union and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization because it occurs 400 years after Galileo turned one of the first telescopes toward the heavens. Peering through that small window, Galileo discovered that the Moon has craters, Venus has phases, Jupiter has moons, and Saturn has rings. This year you can discover these and many modern wonders of the amazing overhead tapestry that is shared by all of humanity. If, like many others, you find the night sky wondrous and educational, be sure to attend an IYA2009 event in your area, and tell any schools and children that might be interested. Also, please feel free to explore the extensive IYA2009 web pages to find international media events that include blogs, webcasts and much much more.

国际天文年欢迎你
全地球的天文学家都邀请你参与2009年国际天文年，感受美丽的夜空。国际天文学联合会和联合国教科文组织选择这一年作为国际天文年，因为在400周年之前，伽利略把某架最古老的望远镜转向天空。从那小小的窗口，伽利略发现了月球上的环形山，金星有位相变化，木星有卫星，土星有环。今年，你也可以发现这些，还有许许多多天文奇景，分布在全人类共享的如锦夜空上。如果你和其他许多人一样，发现夜空是如此美妙且富于教育性，那么请不要忘记参加你所在地区的国际天文年活动，并告诉任何可能感兴趣的学校和孩子。此外，请尽情浏览内容丰富的国际天文年网页，在其中可以找到诸如博客、播客之类的国际媒体活动。（链接请在以上英文版找。）
