Mercury is a quarterly science magazine that features articles and columns about astronomy for a general audience published by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for its members.[1] The first issue of Mercury was published in January 1972 as a bimonthly popular journal to boost public understanding of astronomy and act as a science communication platform to interpret the results of astronomical research for the nonspecialist. In 2007, the magazine was offered in printed and digital form, transitioning to all-digital the following year. Mercury continues as an ASP members-only digital publication and, as of 2019, the publicly accessible Mercury Online blog was launched, featuring articles from the Mercury archives.
Mercury has its headquarters in San Francisco.[2] Current and past Mercury columnists include Christopher Conselice, Eric Schulman, and Christopher Wanjek.
