The magazine was founded by me, Leonid, in May 2021 to be published within Astra Nova School (formerly known as Ad Astra School), to where I had been accepted sometime earlier. This continues to be my private project, the magazine is not a publication of Astra Nova School. Starting from the eighth issue, the magazine became public. By releasing the magazine to the public, I was not only aiming to widen the audience, but most importantly to share the inspiration that I took from the school.
ASTRA NEWS
an online magazine for teens
Our mission
The mission of Astra News is to create a worldwide community of teens around the project “The Republic of Mars”. That is not the only thing that will unite us. The exchange of ideas, thoughts and experiences strengthens our bond.
The Republic of Mars
To colonize Mars, we need to expand not only our technical capabilities, but also our philosophical capabilities.
History of the magazine
What to write about
In Astra News, you can start and develop your own projects/rubrics. The Republic of Mars, The Vitruvian Man, Event Horizon, Impressions, The Hill That Dug Itself Out, Fiction, and Scientists Watch Movies are some of the rubrics. Their development within the magazine assumes a regular (but not necessarily with each issue) publication of material on the subject. Send your short stories, poems, essays, scientific articles, movie and book reviews, interviews, and so on. This is just a list of suggestions.
The authors of this magazine will shape it. As the editor-in-chief, I will respond by strengthening this shape.
