What is an Observation?

The RASC has a wide range of committees that either deliver the Society's programs and services (Education, Publications, etc.) or help run the Society's governance model (Constitution, Nominating, etc.). Permanent Committees are described in the Society's Policy Manual, while temporary working groups, special committees, or task forces may be established to undertake a special project or to examine a specific issue.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) encourages improved understanding of astronomy for all people, through education, outreach, research, publication, enjoyment, partnership, and community.

Your generous support will help to support initiatives geared towards advancing astronomy. Without the generous support of people like you, meeting the objectives of the Society would not be possible.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada has been involved with the sharing of astronomical information with our members and the public throughout its history. Not every publication produced by the Society is still in print however but, through the magic of digital technology, these publications can find new audiences today.
