I came across this interesting article in the Los Angeles Times entitled "
Obama and students space out at the White House"
Another
President Obama to throw stargazing party on White House lawn
You can find the official information at
The White House : The Briefing Room (Blog Page)
(Note this webpage takes a while to load, no doubt checking on who you are!)
Held on 7th October, it was apparently this event was to celebrate IAU IYA 2009
Wouldn't it be great if the Kevin (The Ruddster) Rudd did the same at
The Lodge in Canberra?
