Come New Year and each arrives with its own focal point – a set of individualistic names that differentiate it from any other year, one preceding it, or the one that follows it.
Year 2009 is no different; it has been declared as the ‘International Year of Astronomy’ even as the Chinese calendar proclaims it as the ‘Year of the Ox.`
And these are but two of the interesting names that you will be recognizing the current year by, for here come the rest.
