The theme of the forum will be “protect the dark and quiet sky and promote the sustainable development of astronomical observations.” This forum aims to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation on the protection of the dark and quiet sky, and enhance public awareness of this valuable resource for the sustainable development of basic scientific research…
Measurements have revealed that BlueWalker 3, a low Earth orbiting satellite, is now one of the brightest objects in the night sky. But the satellite’s use of terrestrial frequencies poses a new challenge to radio astronomy.
Since 2011, the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) has funded over 200 projects that use astronomy as a tool to address challenges in communities and achieve SDGs. OAD’s Dana Ficut-Vicas and Maria Alejandra Diaz write on the changes these projects are creating in their communities.
Development Economist and OAD Fellow Dr. Tawanda Chingozha has presented a framework and toolkit for astronomers and natural scientists to think about addressing development challenges.

The ‘International Astronomical Union’ has announced the maiden winners of its three new prizes, created earlier this year: the Astronomy Outreach Prize, Astronomy Development Prize and Astronomy Education Prize.
The CAP conference, held at least every two years, is co-organised by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Commission C2, Communicating Astronomy with the Public (CAP) and the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO).
Workshops will assist scientists in developing countries to access and analyze astronomical data for their research.
