Interested in astronomy? Why not become a 'Friend of the RAS'?
The primary purpose of the RAS is to advance astronomy and geophysics by supporting its members (Fellows) many of whom are part of the professional community of researchers in universities, observatories and laboratories, not least by making the case for continued governmental support for their work. However Astronomy, including the study of the Earth and Solar System, more so than many other branches of science, appeals, and is accessible, to the general public.
If you have an interest in, though not necessarily much knowledge of, Astronomy and enjoy popular talks, visits and social events with similarly minded people, why not become a FRIEND of the RAS?
You will enjoy the following benefits.
- Free priority seat reservation at our popular lunch-time lectures
- Invitations to social events and meetings in Burlington House
- Use of the Society's historic library in Burlington House
