Launch of NameExoWorlds 2022 Competition
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO), the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is launching a contest to name 20 exoplanetary systems to be observed by JWST. The competition, NameExoWorlds 2022, was announced at a press conference at the XXXI IAU General Assembly, currently being held in Busan, South Korea. The contest seeks to bring together both professional astronomers and the wider public, giving them the opportunity to name the 20 selected exoplanets along with their host stars.
Lennart Lindegren and Michael Perryman Receive the 2022 Shaw Prize in Astronomy
The Shaw Prize in Astronomy 2022 is awarded in equal shares to Lennart Lindegren, Professor Emeritus, Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund Observatory, Lund University, Sweden and Michael Perryman, Adjunct Professor, School of Physics, University College Dublin, Ireland for their lifetime contributions to space astrometry. In particular, the award recognises their role in the conception and design of the European Space Agency’s Hipparcos and Gaia missions. This prestigious annual prize is one way in which the Shaw Prize Foundation and the IAU are collaborating on their shared goal of promoting astronomy.
