The mags no longer are "amateur astronomy", but are selling telescopes, accessories, etc. Teh articlesa re what I call "speculative sensationalism", discussions that the vast majority of dedicated readers couldn't care less about!

What I miss more than anything are do-it-yourself project
articles and the near death of content relating to amateur telescope making.

The "science" articles used to be about mainstream research, but now are mostly about stuff on the speculative fringes of science.

I've been reading S & T since 1969, and in my opinion it
is a very weak shadow of its former self.
