And 2009 has its share of yearly declarations as well.The big one for me is the International Year of Astronomy. I am involved in a couple of the projects and on one of the planning committees. I am going to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Long Beach to give workshops and the U.S. opening ceremony.
On a related note, 2009 is also the Year of Science. I like 2009 already!
For the animal lovers, 2009 features the Year of the Gorilla.
And when you buy new clothes, remember that 2009 is the International Year of Natural Fibers.
These are just a few of the celebrations we have to look forward to starting tomorrow!

Some cool things to look forward to!
Yay for gorillas!
I, too, say 'hurray for the gorillas'! Can't wait for this new year to start.
I just read in the JT that this was the year of the Ox. Was that wrong? It starts Jan 26.
They can't get anything right!
Just kidding, Journal Times. Happy New Year!
That is correct, anon. 2009 will be the Chinese Year of the Ox. Since the Chinese years are on a repeating cycle, I didn't use them and focused on the years declared by various organizations.
