As athletes gathered in Paris for the 2024 Olympic Summer Games, the "Olympics of Astronomy" convened half a world away. At the International Astronomical Union's 32nd General Assembly, dark skies were on the agenda. Read about astronomers' involvement in the dark skies movement and how related concerns were top of mind at this year's event.

Last week our fantastic RAS medal-winning AMT Mobile Planetarium team took center stage at the International Union Meeting in Cape Town, where they were visited by Nobel prize winner and next IAU president Brian Schmidt. Last Friday I spoke to the new students in Windhoek and listened to their stories and experiences. Amazing next generation coming there. #iauga2024

The Dark & Quiet Skies session ends with a wrap-up and a plea from the session chairs: please think about what @iau_org can be doing about these issues in the next triennium (2024-27). #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

The final Dark & Quiet Skies session of the day is underway. Aparna Venkatesan (Univ. of San Francisco) presents the results of an @idadarksky task force whose charge was to establish a framework for advocating for dark skies around a core of environmental and social values. #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

The afternoon session now pivots to (cis)lunar issues as they affect astronomy, increasingly seen as within the realm of Dark & Quiet Skies. Gyula Józsa (Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie) notes that while radio astronomy "already enjoys comprehensive protection" in law, same is not true for optical or multimessenger astronomy. #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

Now in a series of several talks about 'quiet' skies addressing radio frequency interference. Standout quote in response to the question How can you mitigate #RFI from satellites? Giorgio Siringo (@almaobs): "There is no way. If emission is there, it will affect the data." #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024 #RadioAstronomy

Byrne: Experiments in Johannesburg (compared with those far from the city) show that the loss of visual cues in the night sky cause disorientation among the beetles. His message: "Just turn out the lights." #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024

Byrne: dung beetles orient using the apparent position of the Sun during the daytime; this system is redundant when the Sun is high in the sky or behind clouds (other cues like wind apply). At night, they use not just stars, but the entire Milky Way. #IAUGA2024 #Astronomy2024
