Please consider using an alternative browser - especially if you are on Windows XP which only supports the outdated Internet Explorer 8 browser - such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome which do have support for these web standards. As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)

If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.

In the meantime, you will have to scroll down a way to see the page you wish to view. You can also skip past the moon phase info, etc. and click here after you've loaded a page to jump to the content.

LAS Coronavirus Statement

Update: 16th September 2020
We appreciate that many of you planning to attend forthcoming Liverpool Astronomical Society events or meetings will be concerned about Coronavirus. In the interests of our membership’s safety and the safety of the public, the LAS council has decided to cancel or postpone all in-person events for the remainder of 2020. If the situation changes before then, we will inform our members via email and members of the public via our social media outlets. Stay safe!
Please note that this includes the weekly Pex Hill meetings.
