The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) was a year-long celebration of astronomy that took place in 2009 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo Galilei and the publication of Johannes Kepler's Astronomia nova in the 17th century. As part of these celebrations I organised and coordinated a public lecture with Professor Owen Gingerich (Harvard) and Professor John Brown (Astronomer Royal and Professor at the University of Glasgow on Scottish astronomy and the Crawford Collection.

The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) was a year-long celebration of astronomy that took place in 2009 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo Galilei and the publication of Johannes Kepler's Astronomia nova in the 17th century. As part of these celebrations I organised and coordinated a public lecture with Professor Owen Gingerich (Harvard) and Professor John Brown (Astronomer Royal and Professor at the University of Glasgow on Scottish astronomy and the Crawford Collection.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
