Guildford Astronomical Society

We support, along with the Federation of Astronomical Societies

the Dark Skies Matter initiative.

Dark Skies Matter seeks to reduce the prevalence and harmful effects of unnecessary, artificial light and to protect fragile oases of natural darkness wherever they are still to be found.
Light pollution is the soiling of the twilight and night-time environment by artificial light. The loss of natural night and the damage and waste caused by light pollution affect us all and should matter to everyone.

In the light of the Coronavirus COVID-19 and the Government’s advice on social distancing we have suspended our monthly meetings.

For the 2020 – 2021 season We are starting Zoom talks initially for GAS members only. Details will be sent via email.

Please pop back to this page or our Facebook page (icon at top right of this web page) to check for updates.

During Lockdown we have a newsletter, GAS LIGHT, to help keep you entertained. You can find the current and previous issues at –
