Established in 1959, the Astronomical Society of University of Colombo is one of the oldest societies in the university. With a legacy spanning years, it has sheltered many renowned astronomers and scientists. With the constant guidance and support of the Senior Treasurer Prof. Chandana Jayaratne, the club is actively participating in nurturing the curious young minds of both university and school students.

Conducting night sky observation camps is one of the highlights of the society's frequent activities. Participants get to witness a clearer look of celestial objects while gaining knowledge and experiencing telescope handling during these events.

The Astronomical Society organizes its signature project Star Quest, the all-island astronomy quiz competition, with the aim of popularizing astronomy among the school community. Moreover, their annual Sigma Magazine focuses on enhancing the astronomy knowledge in general public.

Following their mission, the Astronomical Society of University of Colombo endeavors to disseminate knowledge to the community with the aim of inspiring innovation to make a better tomorrow.
