IYA 2009 round-up from International Astronomical Union gives a boost to KSS

The IYA 2009 write on their website:

Story of the Week must surely go to Physics World‘s feature on Pakistani astronomers. Written by the president of the Khwarizmi Science Society, it looks at how IYA2009 events have boosted the public’s interest. We shouldn’t be surprised, given that they built a roving observatory to go to rural schools. That’d spark anyone’s interest.  Apparently “…older people were particularly delighted as they were shown various stellar constellations that matched their horoscopes.” Hmm!
