We’ve got plenty to keep you entertained this month – from exploding stars to the search for white holes and the latest space news to our full guide to kick-start your summer of observing: there’s something for everyone, whether you’re an armchair or observational astronomer – or even a bit of both!
What’s piqued our interest this time around though – and takes centre stage on our cover – is the existence of antigravity: rather than pulling everything that has mass down, this ‘force’ may actually throw everything upwards.
If you imagined it to be something from science fiction, you’d be right – it’s featured in H. G. Wells’ The First Men in the Moon, among other works – but the concept doesn’t stop there. As you’ll find this issue, it could very much be a reality as physicists not only attempt to recreate it, but also search for it elsewhere in the universe. Could it really exist? You’re about to find out!
This issue, 106, is of massive importance to me as it marks my 100th issue of working on the magazine – in that time our theories of space and time have altered, we’ve made some groundbreaking discoveries and space agencies have sent missions to other worlds beyond our own. It’s been quite an exciting adventure!
Enjoy the issue, and don’t forget to claim your free eBooks, which include Book of the Moon, Book of Mars as well as our guide, Astronomy for Beginners.
