SPIE is a proud supporter of The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) - recognized during SPIE Optics + Photonics 2009.
| Celebrate both The 400th anniversary of the telescope and The International Year of Astronomy. These events celebrate the first astronomical use of the telescope by Galileo – an event that initiated 400 years of astronomical discoveries and triggered a scientific revolution which profoundly affected our worldview.
