AN September 2025

This is the beginning of a new chapter in the storied history of Astronomy Now magazine. After 30-plus years with Pole Star Publications, the magazine is now owned by Nebula Press. Inside the magazine, you can meet the new team (you’re going to see a lot of familiar faces!) that will be bringing you the wonders of the Universe every month.

The September 2025 issue of Astronomy Now features an in-depth look at the mysterious comet 3I/ATLAS, which is currently racing towards the inner planets, having come from a completely different Solar System altogether; a special news report brings you the biggest stories from the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting, and we have features on mapping the worlds of the Solar System and the history of Herstmonceux – the observatory that moved to castle.

Plus we have all your favourite regulars, spectacular images of the night sky, a review of the Novastar Emperor telescope, and a number of new columns such as the return of the book reviews and your letters and social media comments.

Let’s explore the Universe together!
