Yearbook of Astronomy Index: 1962–present

Compiled by Brian Jones and L. M. Stockman

The Yearbook of Astronomy is much more than just an annual guide to the night sky. Since the very first edition in 1962, over 500 articles have appeared in its pages. They cover a wide range of astronomy- and space-related topics, and have been written by many experienced astronomers, both professional and amateur. Given the potential value of these art- icles to the reader, we have compiled a full index which lists the articles by author.

The index includes all of the articles which have appeared in the main 'Article Section' of the Yearbook as well as the shorter articles contained in the ‘Monthly Sky Notes’ section from the 2018 edition onwards. If you check through the index, you are sure to find something that will have you seeking out one or more previous editions of the Yearbook of Astronomy!
