*0) From the Editors*
*Dear friends and colleagues,*
*The present continues to be an exciting time for the IAU Office for
Astronomy Outreach and the IAU as a whole. We are now preparing the next
CAPjournal, with which we are collaborating closely with our friends at the
IAU Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD). This new edition will be
launched early next year and will focus on astronomy and development,
highlighting how outreach can potentiate development and how the outreach
community is using astronomy and outreach to implement Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).*
*Also, our IAU family is growing! So we send a warm welcome to our new
colleagues at the IAU Office of Astronomy for Education (OAE), which will
be hosted at the Haus der Astronomie in Heidelberg, Germany. The new
director of this office, Markus Pössel, has been our National Outreach
Coordinator (NOC) for Germany for many years and we are excited to continue
working with him and the new team. Lastly, in this issue, in addition to
the latest announcement of the new Office of Astronomy for Education, we
highlight the success of IAU100 Astronomy Day in Schools and the *Astronomy
Around the World* video series.*
*Wishing you all clear skies, Lina Canas & Izumi Hansen, on behalf of the
IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach Team *
*1) The IAU Office of Astronomy for Education Will Be Hosted By the Haus
der Astronomie*
The IAU has selected Haus der Astronomie (HdA), an astronomy outreach
centre based in Heidelberg, Germany, as the location for its new Office of
Astronomy for Education (OAE). First announced last year, the OAE will be
established to promote astronomy in education and to achieve the
education-related goals set out in the IAU Strategic Plan 2020–2030. HdA’s
hosting the OAE was made possible through the support of the German
foundations Klaus Tschira Stiftung and Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung.

*2) Object (486958) 2014 MU69 Officially Named Arrokoth*
The most distant object ever to have been visited by a spacecraft has been
given a new name: Arrokoth. The object, (486958) 2014 MU69, became widely
known by its nickname, Ultima Thule, after the New Horizons probe flew by
it on New Year’s Day this year. Arrokoth, which means “Sky” in the
Powhatan/Algonquian language, is now its official and permanent name,
having been approved by the IAU Working Group for Small Body Nomenclature
(WGSBN).

*3) International School of Young Astronomers 2020-1 Applications Open*

Autonomous University of Chiapas (UNACH). Applications to attend are open
until 1 February 2020.
The International School for Young Astronomers (ISYA) is a long-standing
project of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and is now
co-sponsored by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (NASL) through
the Office for Young Astronomers (OYA). The 43rd school will be jointly
organised by the UNACH and the Mesoamerican Center for Theoretical Physics
(MCTP).

*4) Under One Sky: Astronomy Around the World Video Series*
In the framework of the 100th anniversary celebrations of the IAU (IAU100),
the *Under One Sky: Astronomy Around the World* series provides a glimpse
into the diverse worldwide astronomical community. Through the eyes of the
IAU National Outreach Coordinators, we learn firsthand from astronomers
about the history of astronomy, current research efforts in space science,
and how astronomy is celebrated in different countries. These videos also
have insight into the activities developed during the IAU100 celebrations
throughout 2019.
You can find the videos on the IAU official youtube channel:

*5) Students Learn About Astronomy Through the IAU100 Astronomy Day in
Schools Global Project*
The Astronomy Day in Schools global initiative was celebrated from10-17
November. Over 300 events and activities have taken place in 70 countries
worldwide, including some that capitalised on the transit of Mercury on 10
November 2019.

*6) Astronomy Discovery Days to Celebrate IAU100 in December in Togo*
The public is invited to come to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the IAU
on 19-20 December 2019 at “Astronomy Discovery Days in Togo” around the
theme of Astronomy, Education, and Sustainable Development. The event will
celebrate the history of the IAU as well as present exhibits related to
IAU100. The Togo IAU National Committee in collaboration with Lomé
University will host the event.
*We want to send a warm thank you to Togo IAU National Committee for
sharing the news.*
*7) Argentina Celebrates the IAU’s 100 Anniversary*
The 100th anniversary of the IAU was celebrated in Tucumán province in
northwestern Argentina, thanks to The Center for Disruptive Technology of
the University of San Pablo Tucumán (USPT). Approximately 100 people
attended the exhibition *UN CIELO PARA TOCAR*, to show astronomy for people
who are blind and visually impaired. The exhibit featured objects created
by the Center with advisors Alberto Yraidini, who is blind; Mariana
Agustina Romano, who is visually impaired; and Mabel Luna, a braille
instructor. Yraidini sang his composition “UN CIELO PARA TOCAR” ("ONE SKY
TO PLAY").
*We want to send a warm thank you to The Center for Disruptive Technology
and Olga Pintado for sharing the news. And to our NOC for Argentina Beatriz
Garcia for placing us in contact.*
*8) Communication Resources and Training from the Mountains of Stars in
Northeastern USA*
The Mountains of Stars outreach programme hosts a summer science
communication training programmes in the northeastern USA for undergraduate
science students. The programme has also gathered science communication
resources for the general public and offers a password-protected resource
section for science communication practitioners. You can contact them for
the password through their website.
