The year 2009 marks the 4ooth anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo Galilei and also the publication of Johannes Kepler 'Astronomia nova'. UNESCO has endorsed the IYA2009 and the United Nations alongside the International Astronomical Union (IAU) proclaimed the year 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy.
- International Year of Astronomy (Malaysia)
In conjunction of IYA2009, the Space Physics Laboratory University of Malaya will conduct a public observation on 8 March 2009 at UM Stellar Observatory. The main objective is to observe the opposition on Saturn that will occur during the whole night.
