The International Year of Astronomy in 2009, the 400th anniversary of the year Galileo peeped at the heavens with his new telescope, is history. But 2010 is the 400th anniversary of the year he published, and we are now into "Beyond IYA" territory, as things developed for or during IYA are adapted for longer-term use as legacy products and programs. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is continuing three of its IYA efforts in this regard. This article describes how the ASP's IYA Discovery Guides (online packages of theme- and object-based educational materials), Cosmic Clearinghouse (a website with a wide variety of links to good educational materials), and Galileo Teacher Training Program (a teacher workshop using Galileo's iconic observations to teach the process of science) are being adapted for ongoing availability "over yonder," well beyond the horizon of IYA.
