Astronomy

Scientific paper

Today Astronomy is studied by a small number of researchers. Although there is general interest in astronomy, it is difficult for the general public to gain access to information and knowledge on the subject. The institution of the International Year of Astronomy could provide a solution to the problem by providing a scientific basis for the traditional and cultural perception of the sky. It could also encourage scientific research in the field. These words are taken from the Proclamation of the International Year of Astronomy by UNESCO in 2005 and should encourage activity in astronomy in and for developing countries. There is no undisputed definition of a developing country, as it involves a complex evaluation of much data: in this work, I will use the International Statistical Institute evaluation.
