We've walked on the moon and explored the solar system. Where will humans explore in the 21st century?

We Answered:

Well, I hope that we can at least make it to Jupiter. That would be a good milestone. Maybe even a colony on the moon.

Velma Said:

I only want to know who voted the international astronomical union to be in charge of the solar system?

We Answered:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) was founded in 1919 to promote the science of astronomy through international cooperation. Commission 41 (History of Astronomy) was created at the 1948 General Assembly, with Otto Neugebauer as its first President. All Members of Commission 41 are also Full Members of the Inter-Union Commission for History of Astronomy (ICHA) established in 2001.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) unites national astronomical societies from around the world. It is a member of the International_Council_for_Science (ICSU). It is the recognised authority for the naming of stars, planets, asteroids and other celestial bodies and phenomena.

Working groups include the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN), which maintains the IAU naming conventions for planetary bodies.

The IAU is also responsible for the system of Astronomical Telegrams, although it does not run it.

Rosemary Said:

What is the word that comes after international - is it intersolar?

We Answered:

As they say - interplanetary exists.

Intersolar would mean between suns.
