November/December 2004

In the November/December issue of StarDate magazine, scientists Erin Wells Bonning and Gregory A. Shields catch the first step in the death spiral of supermassive black holes and prepare to look for the last step in their feature article Double Hell. Larry Krumenaker explains how astronomers pieced evidence together from many wavelengths -- from radio waves to gamma rays -- to decipher one of the most interesting objects in the Milky Way, in The Mystery of SS433.

Coming up in January/February
Our next issue will bring you StarDate’s Sky Almanac 2005, detailing next year’s astronomical sights month-by-month. We’ll also provide information on spacecraft launches, ongoing missions, and anniversaries in the history of astronomy and space exploration.

Read archived news from StarDate magazine in the Resources section.

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