Press Center

Sky & Telescope is known worldwide as "The Essential Magazine of Astronomy." For more than 60 years we've helped people of all ages and interest levels to appreciate the night sky by providing accurate, timely skywatching information. Our editors collectively have more than 160 years of experience at the magazine and nearly 400 in astronomy!

We want to make your job easier 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: SkyandTelescope.com.

In the meantime, we invite you to sample the online and e-mail-dispatched offerings described below. And if you have special needs or a particularly tough astronomy question, contact our executive editor J. Kelly Beatty (855-638-5388 x148) or our marketing director Marcy McCreary (855-638-5388 x143) for assistance.
