Could we have a link to the IYA2009 UK website please. That way members
can keep in touch with what is going on to promote the first
international year of astronomy - both here and elsewhere.

Also, MoonWeek2009 (an initiative within IYA UK)is building a website
which is currently operating as a forum for steering group members. We
are planning events to celebrate the 400th anniversary in July 2009 of
an unsung hero - Thomas Harriot - who made telescope observations of
the Moon which almost certainly predated those made by Galileo.
I shall keep members updated about progress!
