Revellers around the world are celebrating the end of 2011 and starting to see in 2012.
Bad weather prompted some New Zealand planners to cancel outdoor events, but a fireworks display off Auckland's Sky Tower started at midnight (1100 GMT).

Happy New Year!

Blobrana · L

Well, 2007 is here, so i would like to take this moment to wish you all a Happy New Year! :)

Astronomy wise, 2006 was quite a year. The most significant events of course would be the planetary missions and their findings, and new clues on dark matter; and new discoveries about gamma ray bursts, and the news that Pluto was finally relegated to being a dwarf planet.
There were also many new discoveries about planets beyond our solar system, and superb images of distant galaxies.
The year went by fast, and it was sure one heck of a year. It was quite a job keeping up with the flood of news at times. Let's hope i can, as successfully, bring you the latest news and discoveries that this year unfolds to us.

i thank you all for sticking with us this year and i hope you're all going to find the site as useful in the future. . And a big thanks should go to the various contributors/bloggers, scientists, and news agencies that supplied the material.

Feel free to drop in at anytime.

So once again, Happy New Year to all, and let's enjoy and make the most of 2007!
