The IAU has very specific rules about naming objects in the night sky. Though we often get requests to name stars, planets, and even galaxies, there are few opportunities for the public to help the IAU make decisions about naming celestial objects. The International Astronomical Union and Radiolab Podcasts WNYC Studios have teamed up to bring everyone everywhere into this process. To name a quasi-moon of Earth, check out this website: https://lnkd.in/gxtt6wda #NameThatQuasiMoon
概要
The IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO) is a joint project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), under the auspices of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) of Japan. The mission of the OAO is to engage the public in astronomy through access to astronomical information and communication of the science of astronomy. This is implemented through a network of IAU National Outreach Coordinators (NOCs) and the IAU’s engagement initiatives with the public, encouraging active communication of science through IAU member public engagement, professional-amateur, and citizen science activities. The work of the OAO is about building bridges between the IAU and the global astronomy community of amateur astronomers, outreach practitioners, educators, communicators, and the general public, and through international collaboration, to make the science of astronomy accessible to all.
