Subject: Night Sky magazine discontinued?


I thought I saw a magazine called Night Sky mentioned on one of these
NGs as a good magazine for children. I just visited the Sky &
Telescope website and they say that they are no longer taking new
subscriptions.

Is there a good magazine for children (boy age 9) who will be getting
his first telescope for Christmas? I think he will enjoy getting
something in the mail once a month and that might keep his interest
alive.

Would Sky & Telescope be too much for a 9 year old?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'd go with Astronomy magazine for a 9 year old. There may be something
else better, that I'm not aware of, but S&T is a bit too advanced for a
9 year old.
