When a special skywatching event occurs or a particularly news-making article appears in Sky & Telescope, we'll issue a press release about it and post it here. Most such releases are also distributed via e-mail by the American Astronomical Society's press officer, Richard Tresch Fienberg; freelance science journalists and accredited members of the news media may contact Rick to sign up for this service.

We can help you too. Whatever your needs — background materials, interviews, graphics, animations, or scripts — we can provide the expertise you'll need to convey what's happening in the night sky. In return, we ask that you credit us as the source of the material and, if appropriate, include a link to our home page.
