Science magazine

Cosmos (subtitled The Science of Everything) is a science magazine published in Adelaide, South Australia, by the Royal Institution of Australia that covers science globally. It appears four times a year in print as Cosmos Magazine, and the online edition is updated daily with news as well as long features and multi media content, and includes the print magazine content. Cosmos Weekly is a subscription based weekly online edition published on Fridays, and a podcast was launched in April 2022.

The magazine was established in Sydney in November 2004 by the Sydney magazine publishing executive Kylie Ahern and science journalist Wilson da Silva. with the first issue published in July 2005. In June 2006, the magazine launched a daily Internet news and features service. The magazine was the originator of Hello from Earth, a web based initiative to send messages from the public, each just 160 characters in length, to Gliese 581d, the (then) nearest Earth like planet outside the Solar System. Created as a science communication exercise for 2009 National Science Week in Australia, it collected nearly 26,000 messages that were beamed by NASA's Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex on 28 August 2009. In June 2013 the company, then owned by Luna Media, moved to Melbourne following its acquisition in February 2013 by Australia's Chief Scientist, Alan Finkel, and his wife Elizabeth Finkel, a science journalist, who became editor in chief. The Finkels were already part owners, and acquired the remainder from Ahern and Da Silva, who remained on the editorial staff. On 1 September 2018, custodianship of the magazine was transferred to Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus), a not for profit science media organisation based in Adelaide.
