Education and outreach is at the heart of what we do at the Royal Astronomical Society and so we've decided to merge this account with our main @RoyalAstroSoc account. We will bring you news of our education resources and activities there and hope you will all keep in touch.

We thank the team for all their work on those accounts over the years and look forward to using the main account to promote all their excellent work. Rest assured we are still 100% committed to both outreach and diversity.

We have made the decision to stop posting to the separate @ras_outreach and @ras_diversity accounts and include that content in our main account instead. Education, outreach, diversity and inclusion are core to what we do, and we can reach a larger audience with the content here.

This evening #Venus is in front of the #Pleiades star cluster, high in the western sky at about 9 pm. A great sight, and a great chance for astrophotographers. Do share your images with us! Here RAS's @RobertMMassey explains what to look for. youtube.com/watch?v=quMo1Cqk…

Look up tonight to watch a quick moving light in the night until it dims. It’s not a plane but our international space station (ISS). An inspiring and moving 😍 sight to see on these clear nights and uncertain times! 🛰👩🏻🚀🧑🏽🚀🌏 #StayHome #StaySafe #LookUp
28 Mar 2020
If you enjoyed watching the @Space_Station pass yesterday, see it again tonight at 18:53 or 20:30. For those asking about a string of 'eerie' lights moving across the sky, they're not 👽 but satellites (@SpaceX or @OneWeb most likely)...the aliens are way stealthier than that 😂

Take care everyone and wash your hands! Here is a good demo for best practices - this is why the new method. Stay safe out there! 🧼💧🖐🏼

Whether you're in space or in your living room, being confined for weeks at a time can be a challenge. @UKScouting has released 100 free, fun activities to try at home with your family. So, until you can get back outdoors, take a look at scouts.org.uk/the-great-indo… #TheGreatIndoors

We have two hard working ladies who conduct E&O for @RoyalAstroSoc: @SaturnSheila and below @LucindaLand -OnMars who is showing her enthusiasm for human (erm, cat) space exploration. It was an honour and a pleasure to meet astronaut @AstroKDS Kathy Sullivan.
