The Norwegian Astronomical Society (Norwegian: Norsk Astronomisk Selskap) is a Norwegian organization active in astronomy research, education and outreach.
Its members are both professional and amateur astronomers. The organization has almost two thousand members.[4] During the 2004 transit of Venus, NAS organized the Norwegian public show.[5] It organizes national conferences and the Norwegian Astronomy Olympiad.[6]
The society has several observation groups for meteors, comets, variable stars, supernovae, occultations, the sun, and aurorae.[7] A shift towards a more professional orientation was formalized in 1968 when the journal Astronomisk Tidskrift (Astronomical Journal) was started as a joint venture of the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish societies.[8] Since 1990, the journal Astronomi has been the official magazine for members.[9]
