NSAS normally holds a Seminar and General meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. This May, the event has been postponed. Check back in the next few weeks for details of the June Seminar.

This month's speaker is Zachary Smeaton, from Western Sydney University who will talk on 'Cosmic Explosions: A multi-frequency view of supernova remnants'.

 Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the remains of some of the most energetic stellar explosions in the Universe, and are pivotal

Our speaker models how galaxies such as our own have been accreting others and using the most powerful computers in the Southern Hemisphere, predicts their future structures. More information in 'Events'. 

We're close to releasing the 2026 Events list. Having completed 2 trial Astronomy Welcome Nights, they will become regular each month and are additional to our normal Astronomy nights. Happy New Year everyone!

Saturday 27th December is our 2nd 'Astro Welcome Night' at the PFA Belrose. Bring yourself, your questions (and your telescope if you already have one). A number of our experienced members will be there. Register in the Events section and don't forget to check at Midday that day for cancellation due to poor weather.

This special General Meeting for Tuesday 18th November 2025 will be held at the 'Astro Shed' (Container) at PFA, followed by a members-only viewing night. The meeting will be live streamed. It's a clear night and an extra opportunity for members to bring their scopes and use them when the meeting is finished.

Most positions are already filled baecause we have had one nomination for most official committee positions but even then, we can use people to assist as we should not rely on just a single person to carry the load for a particular position.
