I feel it’s great that we can have our students studied and concerned more on astronomy in this year of astronomy ( IYA 2009). The UNESCO proclaimed year will likely be more highlighted with the performances of students at the 3rd International Astronomy & Astrophysics Olympiad, to be held in next October in Iran. (May the conditions be good for everyone in Iran by October 2009)
