About the magazine

Popular Astronomy is a long-running publication and online platform dedicated to making astronomical knowledge accessible to a general readership. Founded in the early 20th century, it has evolved from a print magazine to a digital hub that publishes articles, observation guides, and reviews. Its core mission is to bridge the gap between professional astronomy and amateur enthusiasts, fostering a community of informed skywatchers. The platform emphasizes clear, accurate reporting on celestial events, equipment, and research developments, without sacrificing depth for accessibility.

Reading periodOpen now

Artists and writers interested in contributing should first review recent issues to understand the publication's tone and scope. Submissions typically include articles on observational astronomy, equipment reviews, historical pieces, and astrophotography. Pitches should be concise, clearly outline the topic's relevance to amateur astronomers, and demonstrate a factual, engaging style. While the platform welcomes new voices, it prioritizes accuracy and practical value over speculative or highly theoretical content. Simultaneous submissions are generally discouraged, and response times may vary.
