Are the rationals homeomorphic to any power of the rationals ?

I asked myself, which spaces have the property that $X^2$ is homeomorphic to $X$. I started to look at some examples like $\mathbb{N}^2 \cong \mathbb{N}$, $\mathbb{R}^2\ncong \mathbb{R}, C^2\cong C$ (for the cantor set $C$). And then I got stuck, when I considered the rationals. So the question is:

Is $\mathbb{Q}^2$ homeomorphic to $\mathbb{Q}$ ?
