- For the General Public:
Queries and questions from the public on IAU-related matters can be sent to the email below. We kindly ask you to use English only. Please check the FAQ first if there may an answer there. Note that the IAU, unfortunately, does not have the manpower to answer emails about specific astronomical topics. However, there are several websites that can give you detailed information if you post a question. You may also contact the International Outreach Coordinator at: [email protected] - Naming Stars:
The IAU dissociates itself entirely from the commercial practice of “selling” fictitious star names or “real estate” on other planets or moons in the Solar System. You can find more information about this topic on the IAU website: http://www.iau.org/public/themes/buying_star_ names/ - For membership matters, please visit the IAU website
