The IAU Directory of World Astronomy
• to connect the international astronomical community
• develop and maintain a database of international astronomy outreach and amateur networks associations
• platform for astronomical organizations for joining the NameExoWorlds contest
• The first phase of the homepage ( http://directory.iau.org ) was launched at October 2014
• 2nd phase: global astronomical events calendar system
• astronomical facilities database

Light Pollution Monitoring Network • To establish a global network of monitoring light
pollution a way to well study the light pollution problem globally, and at the same time draw people’s attention to light pollution problem locally.
• One monitoring station was setup at NAOJ, and we networked and installed different devices at 7 different countries. In addition, a user workshop was held at NAOJ at early January.
(The light pollution monitoring station at NAOJ, user workshop)

Monthly variation of night sky brightness across HK sites
Median value of NSB reading taken over 1 month
1. Ranking of different sites, reflecting ambient lighting usage, stays
roughly the same.
2. Monthly variation at a particular site due mostly to meteorological
or atmospheric factors such as cloud or particulate concentration.
darker in summer brighter in spring
