Learn, contribute and grow with Liberia’s astronomy community.

Membership is for people who want to take part in LAS learning, outreach and astronomy activities. The process is transparent: application, assessment, interview and final LAS approval.

How membership works

Four clear steps, with a real person making the final decision.

You can return to your dashboard at any time to see what you have completed and what happens next.

1

Create your account

Use an email address you can access. Your account keeps your application and progress connected.

2

Submit your application

Tell LAS about your background, interests, availability and reason for joining.

3

Complete the assessment

Answer 15 introductory astronomy questions. A score of at least 8 is required to move forward.

4

Interview and LAS review

Passing the assessment is not automatic membership. LAS will arrange an interview and make the final decision.

Approval is not automatic

An assessment pass only qualifies the applicant for an interview and LAS administrative review.

Only necessary information

The portal does not ask for identity-document uploads or collect payment information.

Membership FAQ

Answers before you apply.

Review the application stages, assessment rule, interview and approval process before creating your account.

Who can apply for LAS membership?

People who are interested in astronomy, science learning, outreach or contributing to LAS activities may apply. You do not need to be a professional astronomer. Applicants under 18 must confirm that a parent or guardian knows about the application and agrees that LAS may contact them.

What are the membership application stages?

Create an account, verify your email, submit the membership application, complete the introductory astronomy assessment, attend an interview and wait for the final LAS administrative decision. Your dashboard shows the stage you have reached.

Is membership automatic after I apply?

No. Submitting an application or passing the assessment does not create automatic membership. LAS reviews each completed application, arranges an interview and makes the final approval decision.

Do I have to pay to submit the online application?

No. The current LAS online membership application does not request a membership fee or collect payment information. Do not send money in response to unofficial messages; confirm any future membership notice through the portal or the official LAS email address.

What does the membership assessment involve?

It is a 15-question introductory astronomy assessment. You must answer every question and score at least 8 out of 15 to move to the interview and administrative review stage.

Can I retake the assessment if I do not pass?

Yes. The portal allows you to review the basics and try the assessment again. Your dashboard will show the retake option after an unsuccessful attempt.
