2009 is International Year of Astronomy!
This first ever global effort was initiated by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO to help citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through connecting with the day and night-time sky, so that all of us might engage in a personal sense of wonder and discovery.  At a local level, the Lethbridge Astronomy Society will be hosting special events throughout the year with this goal in mind.  We are all a part of the grandeur and magnificence of the universe.  It is our hope that citizens of our community will visit our Observatory and take in the many and varied events we have planned.  It is our wish that each and every one of you will directly experience the many wonders that the universe.  Visit our website and watch for upcoming events and articles.  Let’s make this year a year of cosmic celebration!
