dc.description.abstractAstronomy, of all the sciences, is possibly the one with the most public appeal across all age groups. This is also evidenced by the existence of a large number of planetaria and amateur astronomy societies, which are unique to the field. Astronomy is known as a ‘gateway science’, with the ability to attract students who then proceed to explore their interest in other STEM fields. Astronomy’s link to society is, therefore, substantive and diverse. This white paper analyses six key areas: outreach and communication, astronomy education, history and heritage, astronomy for development, diversity, and hiring practices for outreach personnel. The current status of each of these areas is described, followed by an analysis of what is needed for the future. A set of recommendations for institutions, funding agencies, and individuals are evolved for each specific area. This work outlines how the future astronomy-society connection should take shape and provides a road map for the various stakeholders involved.en_US
