The Astronomical Society of Malta

The Astronomical Society of Malta is a non-profit organisation registered in Malta with the aim of promoting education and interest in astronomy. The society plans various activities such as astronomical observations courses into basic astronomy for beginners as well as more advanced public lectures. Some one-time events are also organised like the Space Week in 2019 when an American astronaut collaborated with ASM or in 2024 with the passing of the comet C/2023 A3. Some of these events occur annually, like observations of the Perseids and the organisation's participation in Malta's Science in the City and KurżitàJiem.

Light Pollution Awareness Group

The Light Pollution Awareness Group is a sub-group of the Astronomical Society of Malta. The aim of this group is to create awareness on the adverse effects of light pollution on nature and society. This is carried out by engaging in public outreach, contacting local entities and collaborating with other organisations. The group works to highlight the ecological consequences of excessive artificial light, including its effects on wildlife, ecosystems, and biodiversity, as well as its impact on astronomical observations.
