First Three IAU Hands-On Workshops in Chile, Iran and South Africa
At the IAU XXXI General Assembly currently taking place in Busan, South Korea, three IAU Hands-On Workshops (I-HOW) were today announced to take place in 2022–2023. Registration is now open for two of them and will open soon for a third. The I-HOW initiative was launched last year and will teach early-career scientists in developing countries how to access and analyse archived astronomical data for their research.
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).
