Portal to the Universe

2009 will be the International Year of Astronomy; many projects are under way to mark the occasion, and one of them is the Portal to the Universe, a web site that will be launched later this year and that intends to aggregate everything that is being said on the Internet about astronomy. One of the people involved in this project is Dr Pamela Gay, who blogs at Star Stryder and can be heard, with Fraser Cain, in the Astronomy Cast podcast.

And this is where you come in: if you publish any type of web content related to astronomy, Dr Gay wants to hear about you. If you are involved with any type of astronomy club, centre, observatory etc.), she also wants to hear about you. Read about it in her blog post, get in contact with her and make yourself heard. Also, help propagate this message by posting about it in your content, whatever it happens to be.

By the way, Dr Gay and Fraser Cain have just posted (a few days ago) the 100th edition of their podcast. If you haven't listened to it yet, now is a good time to start. Congratulations to the Astronomy Cast team!
