The universe is your to discover / L'universo... a te scoprirlo!

IYA 2009

2009 is the International Year of Astronomy.  Finally an unmissable, long-awaited opportunity has come: that of sharing the knowledge and passion for the wonders of the Universe with the general public. I am a not a professional astronomer, but as a long-time amateur, I am really excited about it. For this reason, I will strive to give my small - yet passionate - contribution to this big collective effort!
