Welcome back!
The International Year Of Astronomy is being officially launched in Paris, as I write.
The two-day Opening Ceremony is taking place at UNESCO on 15-16 January and includes a programme of lectures by eminent speakers.
You can watch a live webcast right now.
Hopefully, a recording will be available to replay, after the launch event has finished.
At last, the International Year Of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009) is here.

After months of anticipation, I hope it will deliver the promised kick-start to the appreciation of astronomy, by the wider public.
To celebrate the first clear night (for me) of 2009, I thought I should do a first thing, too.
So I attached my newly purchased Canon 1000D digital SLR camera, to my Skywatcher refractor.
