Online Astronomy Magazines

Sky Publishing Corporation (publishers of Sky & Telescope and CCD Astronomy) offers several online services. These include backyard astronomy, a column of tips on observing the night sky; catalogs of resources on astronomy; advertising from astronomical product vendors; a weekly news bulletin; test reports on new astronomy products; astronomical software reviews; and a calendar of astronomy club activities throughout the United States.

ASTRONOMY on the Web presents the current contents of ASTRONOMY magazine, previews its next issue, and highlights current and future sky events. It also provides full text for featured articles, an introduction to the hobby, and guides to observing and buying telescopes. Software originally presented in ASTRONOMY magazine is available for down-loading.

The Astronomer magazine provides up-to-date information and announcements about current events in the sky, such as newly found comets, novae, eclipses, and variable star activity. The past issues of the magazine are available, as is information and calls for observation of many celestial objects. Most items are geared towards moderately experienced amateur astronomers.

The Space Report is a weekly status update on all space launches, including piloted missions and automated satellites. Back issues are available by FTP. The geostationary satellite log is also available here.

Each month, SpaceViews provides you with the latest news from various space-related areas, in-depth articles, book reviews, NSS news, and other features. Our companion publication, SpaceViews Update, provides news updates in the middle of every month.
