The Planetary Report — September Equinox 2021

TL;DR — The Planetary Society’s member magazine on the eve of the James Webb launch.

Volume 41, Number 3, with the James Webb Space Telescope on the cover — ready for launch — months before it actually went up.

The Planetary Society was co-founded by Carl Sagan, and its member magazine occupies an unusual register: written for an informed public that funds advocacy rather than for specialists or for casual readers.

A useful time capsule of expectations set just before the most consequential space-science launch in a generation.
