*Letter from the Editor*

*Dear friends and colleagues,*

*Happy New Year to you all! We hope you had a restful holiday season, and
that your 2024 is off to a great start.  This year, we are looking forward
to an exciting lineup of projects and programmes that celebrate the IAU
National Outreach Coordinators, in honour of the 10-year anniversary of the
network. All of our Global Outreach Projects will focus on and feature
their work, from the women in our network during Women and Girls in
Astronomy, to the planetarium experts during 100 Hours of Astronomy. In
August of this year, we will welcome new NOCs into our Network during the
XXXII IAU General Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa. For more information
about how to get involved with our NOC network, refer to the entry below.
We will soon be posting two vacancies with the IAU Office for Astronomy
Outreach: an International Outreach Officer and a Deputy Director. Stay
tuned for more information about how to join the OAO family!*

*In the Newsletter below, you will find information about how to get
involved in the OAO's activities for 2024. We have an exciting lineup this
year, with plenty of opportunities for collaboration, learning, and
building connections. Throughout this year, we encourage you to contact
your National Outreach Coordinator to find out how you can get involved in
their activities and spread astronomy throughout your own communities. *

*May your skies be dark and quiet, Kelly Blumenthal, on behalf of the IAU
Office for Astronomy Outreach Team*
*National Outreach Coordinators (NOCs)*
<#m_-8754352444454592074_1>
This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the official beginning of the
IAU National Outreach Coordinator network. We will spend 2024 honouring the
amazing work of our NOCs over the last ten years and planning the next
decade of astronomy communication through the NOCs. As with each new
triennium, we reorganise our NOCs network. This year, we will be welcoming
new NOCs during the XXXII IAU General Assembly in Cape Town, South Africa
<#m_-8754352444454592074_8>. If you are interested in becoming a part of
this network – whether establishing a NOC team in your country or joining
an existing team – please get in touch with us at public en oao.iau.org!

You can find out more about the NOCs around the globe at this link.

*Women and Girls in Astronomy*
<#m_-8754352444454592074_1>
Every year, our celebration of women and girls in astronomy will take place
between the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February
and International Women’s Day on 8 March. Following the success of the 2023
programming, we invite astronomy outreach professionals, amateur astronomy
groups, professional astronomers, teachers, and community leaders to join
us in the programme. You can host your own event to celebrate women and
girls in astronomy, join the poster competition, or share your story within
the astronomical field.

You can find more information about this year’s Women and Girls in
Astronomy project here.

*Telescopes for All*
<#m_-8754352444454592074_2>
In alignment with our goals for Telescopes for All from 2023, we will
continue to partner with Stars Shine for Everyone (Sterren Schitteren voor
Iedereen, SSVI) and bring in our colleagues from the OAD network to lead
the National Outreach Coordinators in workshops to build their own
telescopes in both visible and radio wavelengths. These telescopes are
constructed from everyday materials and open doors for many communities
without access to mass-produced telescopes.
*Dark and Quiet Skies*
In May 2024, we plan to build off of the success of last year’s celebration
of the dark and quiet sky. We will strengthen our connections with our
collaborators, including the Center for Protection of the Dark and Quiet
Sky from Satellite Interference (CPS) and the International Day of Light
(IDL). This year, we are continuing some key events from last year,
including a light pollution pledge and survey of global light pollution
initiatives. In the coming months, we will announce more details about how
you can participate in the fight to end light pollution!
*100 Hours of Astronomy*
>From 2 to 5 October 2024, the OAO invites astronomy outreach professionals,
amateur astronomy groups, professional astronomers, teachers, and community
leaders to join this 100-hour celebration of our shared skies. This year,
we will be promoting activities related to planetariums in celebration of
the 100th anniversary of the planetarium. We aim to work with partners like
the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the International
Planetarium Society to engage as many people from all over the world with
their local planetariums as possible. Later this year, we will be posting
more information about this project, so stay tuned!
*LGBTQIA+ in Astronomy*
In pursuit of our motto – astronomy for everyone – we are working to make
astronomy a safe place for LGBTQIA+ communities. With the IAU EC WG
Astronomy for Equity and Inclusion SubWG LGBTQ+ Communities in Astronomy
and National Astronomical Research Institute (NARIT), we are helping to
plan an in-person meeting in Thailand on this topic. This will take place
from 19 - 23 February in person in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Registration is
free, and all are encouraged to help us build a more inclusive astronomy
community.

To find out more information about this symposium, refer to the conference
website.

*IAU General Assembly XXXII*
This August, Cape Town will welcome the largest international astronomy
conference to its shores – the first time the IAU General Assembly will be
on African soil. The OAO will be hosting three sessions during the
conference, one of which will be in collaboration with the IAU Executive
Committee Working Group on Professional-Amateur Relations.

*Communicating Astronomy with the Public (CAP) Triptych*
*a) CAPjournal*
In January, we published the final issue in our two-part special edition of
CAPjournal, honouring the centennial of the planetarium. In it, you will
find stories of planetariums, large and small, from all over the world.
Later this year, expect to see at least one more issue of CAPjournal
published, this time featuring works from the general astronomy
communication community.

This year, we will be hosting a survey of all readers and potential
contributors to CAPjournal to understand your expectations and hopes for
the journal’s future. In the meantime, you can read more about our updated
submission guidelines on our website – including CAPjournal's new
peer-review policy

.

*b) CAP Conference 2024*
This year, CAP Conference will take place online and in-person at Cité de
l’espace in Toulouse, France from 24 - 28 June 2024. The conference is
targeted towards professionals from science communication, informal
education, planetaria and science centres, as well as professional and
amateur astronomers, journalists and creative personalities. This edition –
CAP 2024 – will be the 11th in the series of conferences organised by the
Commission C2 of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and the IAU
Office for Astronomy Outreach. The conference aims to bring together the
diverse worldwide community of Astronomy communicators, both in-person and
virtually. Join the largest international astronomy communication
conference by submitting your abstract and registering today! For more
information on our themes for this year’s conference, review our website.

*c) New Programme: CAP Training*
This year, we look forward to continuing our CAP Training programme for our
National Outreach Coordinators. In the past, these have included workshops
on inclusive astronomy, grant writing, and social media management. This
year, we will continue to look to our NOCs to build training programmes
relevant to their needs.

For all of our past training sessions, please refer to our YouTube channel.
