September/October 2003
Our September/October issue brings "Most Marvelous View of the Heavens." StarDate executive editor Damond Benningfield visited with astronaut Donald Pettit, who used his free time aboard the International Space Station to take snapshots of the starry sky, aurorae, and more. Also, freelance writer Andrew Fazekas chimes in with tips on how to spot satellites in Earth orbit from your backyard.

Every issue of StarDate also includes monthly star charts and stargazing highlights, plus stunning astronomical images.
