From exploring upcoming missions to reporting fantastic finds, the magazine has watched the field grow.
CARL SAGAN WROTE in the June 1974 issue of Astronomy: “Clearly the best time to be alive is when you start out wondering and end up knowing. There is only one generation in the whole history of mankind in that position. Us.”
In its 50-year tenure, this magazine has seen breathtaking change — far too much progress to mention it all. But, for this special anniversary issue, let’s highlight a few key journeys we’ve made, as seen through the lens of science stories that have appeared in Astronomy magazine.
THE ROAD TO THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM
When Astronomy began publishing in 1973, the solar system as we knew it was a very different place. It had nine planets and we had not yet seen the worlds beyond the main belt up close.

WHERE IS OUR SUPER-EARTH?
The planets astronomers see often around other stars are strangely absent from our own solar system. We’re still figuring out why.
LOOK UP AT THE NIGHT SKY and among the stars you might see a few brighter dots — the planets in our solar system. What you won’t see, though, are the most common kinds of planets in the Milky Way: super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.
These worlds, with sizes between that of Earth and Neptune, account for about one-third of known exoplanets. But they are absent from our own cosmic neighborhood. Why they don’t appear around the Sun is an intriguing question that astronomers are now working to answer.
DEFINING PLANETS
To explore this mystery, astronomers must understand what these planets are like and how they fit into the architecture of planetary and solar system formation.
