The Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) is a learned society based in the United Kingdom that supports the advancement of astronomy, solar-system science, geophysics, and closely related branches of science. Founded in 1820, the RAS serves as a hub for researchers and enthusiasts alike, publishing influential journals such as Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and organizing conferences that bring together experts from around the world. The Society also plays an active role in science policy, education, and public outreach, fostering a broader appreciation of space and Earth sciences across both academic and general audiences.
