Our Mission

The RASC mandate is to inspire curiosity and enhance the understanding of the Universe, through public outreach, education, and support for astronomical research. We achieve this by sharing our knowledge and experience with others. The RASC also publishes journals, books, and other material about astronomy and the work of the Society.

RASC Centres host free astronomy activities for the public and volunteers willingly share their experience and knowledge with others, especially newcomers.

Join as a member to receive additional benefits, including our Observer’s Handbook, Journal, and invitations to events. The RASC wants everyone to enjoy astronomy – please contact us to find out what’s offered in your community!
