Welcome to RAS200

In 2020 the Royal Astronomical Society celebrated its 200th anniversary.

To honour the bicentenary, the Society established an Outreach and Engagement Fund of £1,000,000 to support astronomy and geophysics projects that would create a real buzz about science – understanding, discussion and dialogue – in diverse sections of the community. This money was allocated to 12 extraordinary projects from varied, innovative and inspiring partners.
