365 Days of Astronomy

11 Nov 2008

As I've already mentioned before, 2009 will be the International Year of Astronomy, and many activities are being scheduled for the whole year — both online and offline. One of this is the 365 Days of Astronomy podcast, a project that will publish one short podcast every day during the whole year.

A "test podcast" was already published, but the feed will actually go live on the 1st of January (for some time zone; it may be on the 31st of December or the 2nd of January depending on where you are...), and the project will depend heavily on contributions from interested listeners/readers — that means you. It doesn't matter that you don't have a podcast, or that you've never produced audio material: you can still participate. Go to the website, read the information that is there and volunteer to help in any way you can. Even if it is by just mentioning the project in your own blog.

2009 will be an interesting year!
