IAU XXXI General Assembly Draws to a Close
The XXXI General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) ends today in Busan, Korea. Having been postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting took place as the first hybrid General Assembly, with around 1200 in-person participants and around 700 attending online. The conference included seven symposia, 10 multi-session Focus Meetings, as well as many more meetings of IAU Divisions, Commissions and Working Groups.
New Name for Towering Lunar Mountain Approved
The Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has approved an official name for a mesa-like lunar mountain that towers above the landscape carved by craters near the Moon’s south pole. This unique feature will now be referred to as Mons Mouton, after NASA mathematician and computer programmer Melba Roy Mouton (MOO-tawn).
