Hope everyone around the world are enjoying the events. For us here in Oman is really a bad luck, because of the clouds… At the moment I can sit and watch the live events around the world in 80 telescopes. Please have a look at my previous post. Currently there are around 2000 viewers around the world and I’m watching it right at the moment while writing this post 🙂 .

Anyone want to join this great historical event, please contact your nearest national node at your country. Click here for more.

Hope everyone are having fun with the IYA events. For people in Oman like me, I say cloudy skies and towards a clear skies soon. Well I hope so.

Regards & Clear Skies,

The Cosmic Diary

Posted on December 26, 2008 | Leave a comment

Meet the astronomers. See where they work. Know what they know.

About the Cosmic Diary Project:

"The Cosmic Diary is not just about astronomy. It’s more about what it is like to be an astronomer.

The Cosmic Dairy aims to put a human face on astronomy: professional scientists will blog in text and images about their lives, families, friends, hobbies and interests, as well as their work, their latest research findings and the challenges that face them. The bloggers represent a vibrant cross-section of female and male working astronomers from around the world, coming from five different continents. Outside the observatories, labs and offices they are musicians, mothers, photographers, athletes, amateur astronomers. At work, they are managers, observers, graduate students, grant proposers, instrument builders and data analysts.

Throughout this project, all the bloggers will be asked to explain one particular aspect of their work to the public. In a true exercise of science communication, these scientists will use easy-to-understand language to translate the nuts and bolts of their scientific research into a popular science article. This will be their challenge." 4 More please visit: http://www.cosmicdiary.org/
