BigBOSS gets favorable evaluate from the Nationwide Optical Astronomy Observatory
The Nationwide Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the Nationwide Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) study and advancement middle for floor-based mostly astronomy, has introduced its conditional approval of the BigBOSS Collaboration’s proposal to use Ȓ0 nights of valuable observing time on the NOAO 4-meter Mayall Telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona.

I’ve subscribed to this magazine for years even though my main interest is cosmology. Even professional astronomers subscribe so we highly recommend this magazine.
In my opinion, it’s the most professionally done popular astronomy magazine, better than “Astronomy” and more focused than “Discovery.” S&T has many gorgeous astro-photos, mostly done by pros with fab equipment as well as images from the Hubble. So why does the magazine devote more than half its pages and articles to amateur telescopes and accessories? Because that’s what pays the bills! So I’ve packed up my telescope and left it in the garage, but I still subscribe because every issue has at least one article (feature or news) about science. The monthly star map, cepheid graph, and NEWS make the rapidly increasing subscription price still worth it.

I am a retired English Professor and amateur astronomer, and I have subscribed to Sky and Telescope for over 20 years. It is the most professionally produced magazine I have ever read.
Its writing is mature and superbly edited, its photographs are beautifully rendered, its staff continually improves the magazine through better editing and production, and it provides articles on a broad range of subjects: the latest space probes and research; the dating of paintings or historical events by the night sky; Hubble and amateur photographs; meteor showers; what’s up in tonight’s sky; star maps; calendars of events world-wide; reviews of telescopes, accessories, computer software, and books; and more.
Sky and Telescope is widely read by professional astronomers and is probably bought by more amateurs world-wide than any other astronomy magazine.
If you have never looked through a telescope, if you use a telescope often, or if you have a telescope that you have packed up, this magazine should stimulate you to go out to see the night sky and discover where we live and what we live for.

A magnificent magazine full of breathtaking photos and quality articles. Offers great advice for the hobbyiest. Not only does it keep one abreast of space science I think EVERYONE will find it highly inspirational. The articles that take on more technical topics in astronomy and Cosmology sometimes leave one wanting but those wanting more accurate and detailed information on these topics are guided by the magazine to other sources. The magazine walks a tightrope and more often than not it is successful.

A good and ambitious magazine,
