Congratulations @astro4dev.bsky.social on your 15th anniversary! When the OAE was established, we have benefited greatly from the lessons learned and the networks already formed at the OAD. To the next 15 years of astronomy for development work and fruitful collaboration between the IAU offices!

Learners are guided to recognize the web-like architecture of matter at the largest observable scales and to reflect on our own place within it. Inclusive and multi-age, the activity makes complex cosmological phenomena accessible to all learners, including those who are visually impaired
