Upcoming IAU conference on Oahu

[TomK]

I wanted to post this in an existing MK thread, but couldn't decide which was best and decided in the end it's separate enough to be in a new thread. Rob, please move if you don't agree.

The International Astronomical Union will be holding its general assembly in Waikiki next month, August 3 to 14th. This is a massive conference with well over 2000 attendees from around the planet. TMT protests are expected but obviously no one knows yet what will happen.

HNN has an article about it:
