The online version of the popular magazine, Astronomy Now. Features articles and a guide to the night sky. The site is updated frequently and loads quickly. Our goal is to give you the perspective you need to make sense of what's happening in astronomy. Written for the motivated non-specialist, Mercury features nontechnical articles on astronomy research, education, history, and public policy.
Site features readable articles in lay person's language.
Both this site and the original Bad Astronomy receive frequent updates. Back to the top of the page. Unfortunately, the entire magazine is not online full text. You can also take the Astro Quiz. An extremely large meta page with links to astronomy news groups, articles, and personal pages.
