Astronomy (and Science) Magazines


Astronomy and Sky and Telescope are two popular astronomy magazines intended for general audiences.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP) sells posters, slides, and videos, and is a great source of popular information.
Science News
is a good weekly news magazine reviewing all of science.
Scientific American
is very famous, even though I can't understand any of its articles outside of astronomy. It seems very specialized and poorly edited to me.
Discover Magazine
covers lots of popular science but includes conspiracies, ETs, and UFOs too.
Nature
is a leading professional journal for announcing discoveries in astronomy and many other fields.
Aviation Week
and Space Technology is an aviation industry technical magazine.
Quest
is a magazine devoted to the history of space flight.
The Astrophysical Journal is the world's premier publication for professional astronomers. I have published over a hundred articles in it.
