Algerian astronomy boosted during IYA2009

23 February 2010

Enthusiastic Algerian IYA2009 supporters from the Sirius Astronomy Association have spearheaded a series of astronomical events, many within their country but some beyond. 

An online clearinghouse made specifically for IYA2009 activities is available online. Members of the Sirius Astronomy Association hope that it will inspire others to engage in space-science outreach beyond 2009.
