Kavli Foundation Strengthens IAU Public Engagement Programmes and Scientific Meeting
The IAU is delighted to announce that it has signed three grant agreements with The Kavli Foundation totalling $220 000. $80 000 is to develop a Kavli–IAU Public Engagement Training Programme in 2021; $20 000 is to support the online Communicating Astronomy with the Public Conference proposed for April 2021; and $40 000 per year for three years will go towards dedicated Kavli–IAU Interdisciplinary Symposia in 2022–2024.
First Official Names Given to Features on Asteroid Bennu
12 features on Asteroid Bennu, the subject of NASA’s first mission to bring an asteroid sample back to Earth, have been given official names. Bennu’s own name was inspired by an ancient Egyptian deity, depicted as a bird, that was associated with the Sun, creation and rebirth. In keeping with this theme, the features have been given names related to mythological birds and bird-like creatures.
