The RAS runs, sponsors, or otherwise supports, a wide range of meetings, including a major programme of regular monthly meetings held October to May covering all aspects of astronomy (including cosmology, astrobiology, astrochemistry, astroparticle physics, computational astrophysics, etc.) and solid-earth geophysics (including geophysical fluid dynamics, planetary sciences, solar-terrestrial physics, etc.), planetary sciences, and solar-terrestrial physics.
These monthly meetings are held in the lecture theatres of the Geological Society and the RAS lecture theatre, all at Burlington House.The standard format is a pair of Specialist Discussion meetings, followed by a more general Astronomy & Geophysics ('Ordinary') meeting, open to the general public.
