A new view of the Universe

From digital cameras to global positioning systems (GPS), technologies developed for astronomy have helped to shape the world around us.

The Royal Astronomical Society has produced a booklet, supported by STFC, which sets out through a series of articles and case studies just some of the ways in which astronomy has had an impact on wider society.

Further information is available on the Royal Astronomical Society website (link opens in a new window).
