In 2009 humanity celebrated 400 years since inventing of telescope by Galileo Galilei. This instrument, giving at the beginning just 3 times magnification, became a powerful tool in making philosophical and scientific revolution. The progress of understanding of the place of mankind in the Universe is continued till now.
The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is a global effort initiated by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and UNESCO to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through the day- and night-time sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery.
