Although this news is a bit dated, I understand that Night Sky Magazine will no longer be published after the next issue.
I beleive that the last issue is shipping soon.
I am saddened at the loss of this good "introductory" publication to astronomy...it was written in a style that I enjoyed reading and could and did share with my kids. I actually have been donating my old magazines to my kids school library...the librarian and some the kids interested in Astronomy did too (so I am told).
Yes, there are still several good astronomy magazines available and I suscribe to most all of them...but, I will miss this one. Just for the record, I also donate them to the school too after I am done with them. I'd like to think that they will inspire someone else to go into the hobby...
yeh I subscribed to Night Sky when I first started in Astronomy - like you said, a good introductory tone and good articles for the beginner.
I can understand the reasoning though, declining sales and a reasonable small market. It is a shame though, cause it's likely to mean we'll never see a similar publication again.
