LET us look to the stars and the earth in this international year of astronomy, gorillas and natural fibres.
Science Centre Singapore is taking the 400th anniversary of the first astronomical observation by Galileo seriously with a full year of planned activities to encourage as many people as possible to view the stars through a telescope.
2009 is marked by the International Astronomical Union, held in connection with the United Nations, which also celebrates the 40th anniversary of man's first landing on the moon.
