Abstract

Of the 185 countries that are Member States of the United Nations, nearly 100 have professional or amateur astronomical organizations. Only about 60 of these countries, however, are sufficiently involved in astronomy to belong to the International Astronomical Union. Only about 20 countries, representing 15% of the world’s population, have access to the full range of astronomical facilities and information.
