This year marks the golden anniversary of StarDate magazine, so we’re celebrating by describing the progress and discoveries of the past 50 years of astronomy, along with some tidbits about our own history.
They’re all part of our 2023 Sky Almanac issue, which offers details on some beautiful skywatching treats, including an annular solar eclipse in October. Plan your skywatching adventures with tips on eclipses, meteor showers, encounters between bright planets, and much more.
