Next Issue

The final issue of 2026 is already upon us, and boy, do we have a banger for you! The divide between the haves and the have-nots is sure to follow us into space and any colonies we settle, with the reality of being one of the have-nots surely even harsher than here on Earth, so how is one family of hardworking lunar colonists going to navigate the holidays? Find out in our seasonally appropriate lead story from M.T. Reiten, “Xmas in Derbtown” (or, as I like to think of it: “The Moon is a Harsh Christmastress”). Our fact article for the issue is the first of two parts from Analog stalwart, Richard A. Lovett: the clearly named “Beyond the Sonic Screwdriver: How the Weird Wide World of Acoustical Research is Revolutionizing Everything from Medicine to Microplastics, Part I” And of course we have an array of other stories, seasonal and non, from Ted Kosmatka, Jerry Oltion, James Van Pelt, and many more, so you’ll want to ring in the holidays here!
