Hillaballoo

It’s been pointed out correctly that 2009 is actually year of the telescope, or the International Year of Astronomy. http://www.iau.org/iau0702.486.0.html

Unfortunately, if you Google ‘year of the telescope’, the previous post in this website comes to the very top. At least it shows that doing a blog helps get publicity for local community projects, but it also shows how the internet can spread falsities as well as knowledge. I shouldn’t have got that wrong. It was lazy of me.

2008 is the Year of the Telescope, celebrating Galileo’s inspired use of the telescope and all that came afterwards, leading to navigation of the seas and the stars. It would be great to see some activities in Hillaballoo that celebrate this occasion.
