The IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach team In this issue we highlight the star names now formally approved by the IAU, and hope you enjoy browsing through all 227 of them! We also revisit the great software tool Stellarium and, with 2016 almost at an end, the new training courses by the European Science Education Academy (ESEA) for 2017 are now open.įinally, we want to send a warm thank you to all of the contributors to this newsletter who have shared with us some of their favorite astronomy education and outreach activities and resources from around the world. Start making your travel arrangements to visit Japan in 2018 and take part in one of the most exciting science communication events of the year while watching the beautiful Japanese sakura trees in full bloom. We want to start by congratulating Japan as host of the 2018 Communicating Astronomy with the Public conference (CAP2018), to be held in Fukuoka, from 24 to 28 March.
