| Summary:
The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and
openly-developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to
the astronomical community. A key element of the Astropy Project is the core
package $texttt{astropy}$, which serves as the foundation for more specialized
projects and packages. In this article, we summarize key features in the core
package as of the recent major release, version 5.0, and provide major updates
for the Project. We then discuss supporting a broader ecosystem of
interoperable packages, including connections with several astronomical
observatories and missions. We also revisit the future outlook of the Astropy
Project and the current status of Learn Astropy. We conclude by raising and
discussing the current and future challenges facing the Project.
