New editor for Populär Astronomi

Stockholm astronomer Robert Cumming takes over as editor for Populär Astronomi for one year starting on July 1.

Populär Astronomi is Sweden's leading popular magazine on astronomy and space flight. Several astronomers from Stockholm Observatory are involved in the work on it. Robert Cumming is presently the news editor and started the news blog on popast.nu, Populär Astronomi's web page. His research mostly concerns how the brightest compact blue galaxies move and super star clusters.

- It's going to be exciting to move from the blogosphere over to the wonderful world of the printed page, says Robert Cumming.
