CAPE TOWN – 14 June 2022: The first edition of BRICS Astronomy Magazine has been
released and is ready for you to peruse at your pleasure. The magazine can be downloaded
and viewed in PDF format on issuu.com/bricsastronomy or visit the BRICS Astronomy
Magazine website to read featured articles online.

Working hand-in-hand with the BRICS Working Group, the magazine is a platform to give
visibility and showcase the work being done in astronomy within the BRICS countries. It also
serves to communicate this to the broader astronomy community, government and the general
public.

This is exactly what is on display in this edition of the magazine. On page 26 is a piece about
the impact of the BRICS Intelligent Telescope and Data Network and the great work being done
to make it happen. There is another article that walks you through the history of astronomy, as
well as an article delving into the 13th BRICS Summit, which took place virtually. The magazine
is packed with many more interesting articles.

If you would like to get your hands on a hard copy, keep an eye on our social media pages. The
magazine will also be distributed throughout the BRICS countries at embassies, universities,
airport lounges, astronomy tourism sites, libraries, etc.

We hope you enjoy this edition of the publication and we look forward to many more editions in
the future.
