Astronomy portal brings IYA2009 to French speakers around the globe

2 October 2009

"Porte aux étoiles", a French-language astronomy portal, is seeking to expand its readership to new heights. Created during IYA2009, it aims to become the go-to site for those wanting to learn about the Universe. An key additional feature is an exhaustive list of astronomy societies and planetaria. From this one site, members of the public can access current events, educational content, practical astronomy tips, outing ideas, and much more.

The website has been made by the AFA (French Astronomical Association), in collaboration with and financed by the ECA (CEA), the CNES, the CNRS, the IN2P3, and the magazine Sky and Space.
