Front cover
This edition’s cover design encapsulates the vibrant spirit of South Africa that resonated through the IAU General Assembly, held for the first time ever on the African continent in August 2024. Its colour palette and artistic style are a nod to both the South African flag and the SKAO’s Cosmic Echoes Indigenous art exhibition launched at the General Assembly. It also speaks to the many different elements that came together under one event, celebrating science, culture, diversity, education and global collaboration.
