Recent News
- News:
- The IYA has begun! This year we commemorate the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s use of a telescope to study the skies, and Kepler’s publication of Astronomia Nova. 2009 is also the anniversary of many other historic events in science, including Huygen’s 1659 publication of Systema Saturnium. This will be modern astronomy’s quadricentennial, and the 2009 Year of Astronomy will be an international celebration of numerous astronomical and scientific milestones.
We have a monthly public lecture series with talks taking place on the third Saturday of each month (with special arrangements on April 18, when three talks will take place). Admission is free, but if you wish to support astronomy at UC Berkeley, you can donate here: http://astro.berkeley.edu/support.html
