The Society for Popular Astronomy brings astronomy to everyone. Whether you are young or old, a beginner or an experienced skywatcher, you'll get a great deal from the SPA. Formed in 1953 as the Junior Astronomical Society, the SPA is Britain's brightest astronomy society.

Our bright, informative quarterly magazine Popular Astronomy is packed with articles, a round-up of developments in space research, reviews of latest books and telescopes, news from local societies, a Sky Diary telling you what you can see - and much more. And we've a reputation for avoiding the jargon that can so often make science seem a foreign language.

We offer an unrivalled information service, with reports of bright, new comets, exploding stars, or novae, and other discoveries. Published at least six times a year, the News Circulars are also crammed with astronomical news and latest reports from observers. They could include YOURS!

So, what are you waiting for? Join in the fun of the SPA - and discover what you've been missing!
