NASA invites you to join in the celebration of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA). We have collected our best resources and compiled many opportunities to get involved as the world remembers Galileo's remarkable accomplishments 400 years ago and follows along as a new generation of explorers extends humanity's vision farther into our solar system and beyond.
This site offers a look at upcoming events in solar system exploration and a sample of the many resources collected by NASA and other organizations to help students, teachers and the public get the most out of the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
