The theme, “Exploring the Multilingual Universe”, celebrates UNESCO’s International Year of Astronomy. Throughout human history, people have looked up to the stars and explained themselves and their “universe” in many languages and through the lenses of their cultural perceptions. We live in an interconnected world that brings all of these universes together. Our knowledge, understanding and ability to communicate across linguistic and cultural lines are the vehicles that will take us into new frontiers as we explore the world that will be created in the 21st century.
