If you can see this message then you are using a browser (probably Internet Explorer) which does not support the international web standards used by the LAS website and many others. Click here for an example of how the site should look.
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.
Due to commitments with regard the BBC Sky at Night programme, Mr Paul Abel is unable to keep his long standing invitation to speak to the Society on Friday March 18th, 2011.
His place has been taken by Dr Steve Barrett Department of Physics, University of Liverpool, who is to talk on “How Stars Tick – Stellar Evolution for Non-Astrophysicists”. I wish to place on record my thanks to Dr Barrett for stepping in at very short notice.
