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.

Message of thanks re: Wirral Star Party (National Astronomy Week 2014)

Just a message of thanks, once again to all the LAS Members who helped with last night’s Wirral Star Party, which was attended by approx 125 members of the public.

The weather tried to crash the party with rain and cloud, but we did get some clear spells, to enjoy Jupiter, and lots more.
Special thanks to Wirral Ranger Dave, who gave up his night-off to open the Wirral Country Park visitor centre for the event.

The LAS Leighton Observatory Open Day/Night is next Saturday March 8th from 1pm, but we do it all again on the Wirral on Saturday November 1st, 2014 see you there.

Cheers, Gerard
