Press Releases

When a special skywatching event occurs or a particularly news-worthy article appears in Sky & Telescope magazine, we post a press release here. Most releases are also sent out via email by the American Astronomical Society’s press officer, Susanna Kohler; freelance science journalists and accredited members of the media may contact the AAS to sign up for this service.

Below you may explore archived articles covering everything from eclipses to comets to meteor showers. If you choose to reference one of our press releases, please credit us and, if appropriate, include a link to skyandtelescope.org.
