Astronomers Without Borders is people meeting among the stars. It is only natural to do so. After all, we all share the same sky. The star-filled sky fascinates us all. People have gazed upward at it in wonder and awe for thousands of years. Regardless of earthly differences in culture, nationality or religion, the night sky is a common meeting ground for all of Earth's inhabitants. The boundaries we place between us vanish when we look skyward. Whoever, whatever or wherever we are, we all share the same sky. Contact: Mike Simmons |
The Cosmic Diary is one of the eleven Cornerstone projects of the IYA2009. This project is not just about astronomy. It's more about what it is like to be an astronomer. It's a collection of blogs which aims to put a human face on astronomy. Professional scientists blog in text and images about their lives, families, friends, hobbies and interests, as well as their work, latest research findings, and the challenges that face them.
