Hello folks,
After 8 productive years at the helm, Greg Bryant is stepping down as editor of
Australian Sky & Telescope magazine, and I have been appointed the new editor, beginning with the Feb/Mar 2015 issue.
The official announcement is below.
I'm excited to be back in this role, and I look forward to working with local astronomers, amateur and professional, to continue telling the world about the wonderful work they do.
I'm going to be pretty busy settling back in over the next month or so, but I'm keen to hear your ideas for what you'd like to see in
AS&T next year. So please feel free to email me at
jonathan@skyandtelescope.com.au
Regards,
Jonathan Nally
Odysseus Publishing is excited to announce that respected science journalist Jonathan Nally will return as editor of
Australian Sky & Telescope, beginning with the Feb/Mar 2015 issue.
Jonathan is well known to members of both the amateur and professional astronomical communities. In 1987 he founded
Sky & Space magazine, and in 2005 became the launch editor for
Australian Sky & Telescope before moving on to other projects.
He has written for other major science magazines (
Science Illustrated,
Cosmos), and has authored, contributed to or edited many nature and history books.
He also appears regularly in the mainstream media, including as the resident astronomer on Channel 9's
Today Show, and has been involved in the production of two shows for the Melbourne Planetarium.
In 2000, the Astronomical Society of Australia awarded him the inaugural David Allen Prize for excellence in the promotion of astronomy to the public.
Jonathan returns to
Australian Sky & Telescope at an exciting time, with space missions soon to arrive at Pluto and Jupiter, and with major new observatories on the ground and in orbit set to revolutionise our understanding of the universe.
Greg Bryant leaves after eight years at the helm of
Australian Sky & Telescope to pursue other interests. His contribution has been invaluable and passion enormous. We wish him all the best for the future.
