editor's note

Our winter of discontent is being transformed, albeit slowly, into glorious "spring" with the arrival of warm winds, budding trees and the Vernal Equinox issue of E-Cass! Once again thank you to the many contributors who helped produce this issue of E-Cassiopeia. Ray Carlberg has an informative update on TMT while Brenda Matthews and Mike Reid give us food for thought in their article on the status of women in Canadian astronomy. Jim Hesser has a note on the 2009 International Year of Astronomy as well as a plea for help take a look and put Jim on your speed dial now! A delightful article that you won't want to miss is Alan Dyer's colourful and playful look at public astronomy education as developed in national planetaria. As well, we have the usual pot pouri of timely reports and news updates.

Welcome to Spring and wishing you the very best in the coming season!
