News & Press Coverage

As IYA2009 is a global endeavour, media from around the world report on the activities taking place. Some recent press clippings, most of them in English, are collected here as a depository of stories, making it easy to keep up-to-date with developments. For news stories local to you, consider using national aggregator services, such as http://news.google.com/.

As you know, the IYA2009 Secretariat publishes stories and news on the global IYA2009 website regularly. These stories and news are directly related with either global organisation, global projects, task groups or IYA2009 partners.

Please bear in mind that we don't publish local or national stories, with a few exceptions, namely innovative or international cooperation projects and activities, which can serve as inspiration, examples or good practices for other nodes or organisers.

If your news or stories align with the criteria described above and if you are interested in having them published on the global IYA2009 website, please email us: iya2009@eso.org.

For local and national stories and news please contact your IYA2009 national node: http://www.astronomy2009.org/organisation/nodes/national/
