Online Astronomy Society The Online Astronomy Society was founded and directed by Alastair Leith, himself an amateur astronomer. The society was formed as a means of enabling people without gardens or telescopes to still get involved in doing some useful Astronomy. The society was formed in 2009 from a humble Facebook Page out of which the society predmoninantly operates. However the Society also has a forum and an academy

Arguably the most active and proactive astronomy society online, with nearly 3000 Facebook members. The society also has its own monthly Astronomy magazine The OAS Word which people can subscribe to free.

Other activities include regular live webinars where the Online Astronomy Society works with the [|Faulkes Telescope] where we use robotic telescopes, offering its audience an opportunity to not only take some images of distance objects but to do some real science.
