Mercury Archives
The first issue of Mercury Magazine appeared in January 1972 as a bimonthly popular, printed journal for ASP Members providing a better public understanding of astronomy. Between 2007 - 2023, Mercury magazine was offered in digital format only and as of January 2024 Mercury is now a subscription based online magazine open to all individuals and institutions.

We now have an index of the entire collection of print and digital Mercury volumes from 1972-2019. This index, organized by subject matter, only covers the longer articles and omits news notes, regular columns, Society doings, etc. Within each subject category, articles are listed in chronological order starting with the most recent one. If you are the owner of the full collection, or if you are researching through a library with the full collection, we hope you find this index of great assistance.
