The Southern Astronomer is a quarterly magazine featuring news and articles about science, astronomy, astrophotography, and space exploration.
We aim to connect these topics to the southern hemisphere - a wonderful part of the world home to extraordinary people who have immeasurably contributed to the fields of science and astronomy.
Powered by passionate volunteers.
The Southern Astronomer is a quarterly magazine powered by a team of dedicated volunteers from Australia.
The Astronomical Society of Victoria provides valuable resources and expertise but does not direct the magazine's content, ensuring its independence and integrity.
The magazine is available entirely online and is published on the first day of the quarter.
