SUNSET: 
Sky & Telescope has been bringing the sky and skygazers together since 1941. You're in the right place!
Sky & Telescope is an award-winning magazine that has been bringing the sky and skygazers together since 1941, when two magazines — The Sky and The Telescope — merged into one.
Now, Sky & Telescope — which includes the magazine and website — covers all aspects of the science and hobby of astronomy, from scientific discoveries to what’s in the sky tonight and the latest equipment. And we do all of that without resorting to generative AI to author our articles. Our content is written by expert professional and amateur astronomers and award-winning science writers who together share a passion for our amazing universe.
We think that with the right encouragement, everyone can excel in astronomy — and we don’t have to skimp on the details to do it.
For more than 80 years, we've had a reputation for accuracy and authority. Today, we’re still known for our thorough equipment reviews and trustworthy guides for exploring the night sky. Our science journalism has won several of the most distinguished awards in the field. Even our mistakes have affected astronomy! Due to an error in our March 1946 issue, the public’s definition of “Blue Moon” changed forever.
So are you a budding astrophotographer, or an expert keen to learn the latest techniques? Do you know how to navigate the most obscure constellations . . . or need help naming the brightest stars? Are you fascinated by the latest scientific discoveries about the universe and want to understand them better?
You’re in the right place: Our audience is astronerds. With our website, monthly magazine, products, and tours, we keep you up to date and enable you to dive deep into astronomy. As part of the American Astronomical Society, we share a nonprofit mission to share and enhance humanity’s understanding of the cosmos.
Come share our love affair with the universe. View what's in the latest issue and subscribe today.
