A word from ASP CEO, Hakeem Oluseyi
March 19, 2025
Dear ASP Community,
For over 50 years, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) has proudly published Mercury magazine for our members. In 2023, we introduced a long-awaited digital version, accessible on multiple devices and available to a broader audience through subscriptions.
As the ASP embarks on an exciting new chapter, we are developing a Strategic Plan to guide our future. As part of this process, we are temporarily pausing Mercury's current format. At the same time, we are reimagining Mercury as a dynamic new media platform that will continue to tell inspiring stories about the many ways astronomy intersects with society. We're thrilled about this new direction and look forward to sharing it with you whenever it's appropriate.
In the meantime, all existing Mercury website content will remain free of subscription fees and available to everyone. Additionally, our complete archive of Mercury issues from 2007 to 2023 will remain accessible and is now fully searchable for your convenience. We encourage you to explore and enjoy these resources.
Please sign up for our newsletters to stay informed about our new strategies and Mercury's return in its refreshed form. By joining the ASP community, you'll stay connected and be part of the exciting journey ahead.
Thank you for your continued support of the ASP. We look forward to bringing you more inspiring content soon!
Sincerely,
Dr. Hakeem Oluseyi
CEO, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
