Formal Talk with Katrin Raynor-Evans – Exploring Astronomy and Space Through Philately
I am a freelance astronomy writer and communicator. I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Royal Geographical Society; a member of the European Astronomical Society, Society for Popular Astronomy, American Philatelic Society, Cardiff Astronomical Society and Astro Space Stamp Society.
I write for popular astronomy magazines including the BBC Sky at Night on various topics and have written on subjects including Observing Deep Sky Objects, the Beddgelert Meteorite, Astronomy for Everyone and numerous book reviews.
My specialist hobby and topic is astronomy and philately. My first international publication on the subject is in Physics Today, the magazine for the American Institute of Physics published in October 2019. I have conducted and written interviews with many eminent astronomers which have been published in A&G, the magazine for the Royal Astronomical Society and the Society for Popular Astronomy.
