The international year of astronomy (IYA) 2009 was a global endeavor, initiated by the international astronomical union and UNESCO; its aim was to raise the public awareness at large with strong emphasis on the youth of the great role of astronomy as a science.
The images in the exhibition “From earth to the universe” were a sample of the wide range of objects in the universe; the solar system, the stars, and the galaxies. The diversity in size and shape and more between these objects was amazing.
