Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy’s Post

It's with great pleasure that we bring to the limelight the great men and women who have been part of the story and journey of PACS e-Lab for almost four years of its existence. They represent the group leaders helping to recruit and train participants in our projects. We want to thank these people for believing in PACS e-Lab and partnering with us to spread hands-on astronomy and soft astronomy research all over Africa. They are truly the best of the best in Africa when it comes to astronomy research, education, and outreach. Statistics: - Countries: 45 - Groups: 70+ - Number of citizen astronomers: 691+ Here we use A, B, and C to clarify the groups: - A = 15: Corresponds to entities such as national space agencies, national astronomical societies, national observatories, and other national entities or representations. - B = 25: Represents university groups. - C = 30: Units are secondary schools and private organizations.

We are proud to co-sponsor the pivotal conference room paper, 'Protection of Astronomy and Science on the Moon,' now available on the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) website. This critical document, presented at the 67th United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), outlines the need for dedicated processes to preserve the Moon's unique scientific potential in astronomy. Developed in collaboration with the The International Astronomical Union , For All Moonkind, Inc., and the International Academy of Astronautics , this paper emphasizes the importance of safeguarding lunar sites from contamination and interference to ensure the sustainability of future scientific missions.
