Thirty years ago this month, a group of editors from Time magazine launched DISCOVER, a new magazine that would explain the amazing advances of science in a format and style that any curious reader could enjoy. Some of the topics we covered in our first issue look rather quaint today—talking cars, debunking Bigfoot—but the spirit has remained true.
In this 30th anniversary issue, we both look back at the science of the past 30 years and look forward at what discoveries will come in the next 30. We also invite readers to share their own thoughts (through blog comments) on where they hope and fear science will go, and also on the surprises we've seen since DISCOVER's launch.
Below are links to the special 30th anniversary features (links will go live as we publish the articles over the course of the next few weeks):
