Become a Young Stargazer!
The Society for Popular Astronomy is pleased to announce a major new drive to encourage more young people to take up astronomy. We have set up the Young Stargazers - a new section of the society dedicated to the under 16s.
What are the benefits of becoming a Young Stargazer?
If you are under 16 you can join the SPA at a special rate opf just £10 a year. You also have the opportunity to become a Young Stargazer.
You will receive the Young Stargazers File which will contain lots of useful information about choosing your first pair of binoculars or telescope, observing - including sheets for you to fill in to help you focus your observing sessions, and facts about the world's greatest telescopes. We'll also point you towards the best websites, places of interest and astronomy stores in the UK. Don't forget to use you Membership Card to get great discounts! You'll also receive a Membership certificate, a badge and other goodies.
As a member of the SPA you receive Popular Astronomy (including Prime Space) four times a year, and regular newsletters to keep you up to date with all the latest astronomy and space news. There will be special Young Stargazers pages in Popular Astronomy too, where you will find everything from competitions and quizzes, to fun facts and things to make. There'll be tips on starting astronomy clubs at school, and even careers advice. We will also feature photos and drawings of your own observations, so get out there and start observing!
