I liked all of it but i would have liked to see more about astronomers our age and clubs around our area!

I would like to see further issues because it was interesting finding out about space. Also, it was directed at children which meant that it was an easy read making it more enjoyable.

In future issues I think that you should lay out your copies of Starlight with easy to read section headings so that you can easily pick out the sections that you want to read. I really liked the front page, it was very good, but I thought that the other pages on Mars were good as well.
I think that future issues of Starlight should have a contents page so that the readers can easily see which articles they wish to read.

The layout and design of Starlight was very good, very appealing to my age group and well written. I think more views or letters from readers might make the magazine a little bit more interesting.

I liked the layout of the magazine and I also thought the way that they described certain facts and figures was good. The design was good and it showed quality. Great start!! Well Done!.

I really liked the way the different parts and sections were layed out and all the bold colours and title really attracted my attention. I think that this issue has most of the things I'd
like to see in an astronomy magazine. It was interesting about the blueberries on Mars too. Very good magazine! Well done and thank-you!

Many thanks for the copy of Starlight, it was a welcome surprise. Publications like this are a fantastic resource, I think that as a first issue it covered some very good subjects with easy to understand narrative which was suitable for all age groups of students.

It will be good for all who are interested in science and astronomy if they are able to continue to receive this magazine. Students will become engaged and look forward to seeing further copies if this standard is maintained. Keep up the good work.

I thought that the pictures and information was very good and the whole presentation of it. I think there should be a little bit more colour and less writing on each page, because there is a bit too much to read and look at. In future issues I would like to see some information on the Sun and maybe about the history of the stars.

I think it's very interesting and easy to read as there are lots of pictures and interesting facts that make you want to read on. It is also set out well as you can read a lot quite quickly, so it is enjoyable to read again and again without losing interest. I love reading about Mars as I find it really interesting to know what goes on on other planets.

It's easy to read and has a fun layout with lots of interesting facts about Mars. It would be very easy for a younger child to read but getting younger people interested in astronomy is easier than older people. I would like to see galaxies and nebulas, with pretty pictures, and perhaps the myths and beliefs believed about different extraterrestrial phenomena.

I really like the layout and design of the magazine it is very colourful and well laid out. The only thing I would change is the background colour of the front cover though the rest of the magazine was colourful I found the dull peachy colour a tiny bit of a let down. But over all the information and pictures were enjoyable and the information was full of facts. In future issues I would like to see some information about the sun and some more about constellations.

I thought the design of this booklet was very well laid out and easy to read and navigate page to page. I found the information in the booklet very interesting and I can’t wait for the next issue to be released. I found the projects covered in this book very interesting and I learned more about Mars than I had originally known about it. All in all I enjoyed reading this booklet.

My favourite part of the magazine is the part where they tell you why Mars is red. I also liked the part which tells you that there is water on Mars!

I think that starlight should add a word search and other puzzles, and should add interesting facts and jokes and words to make the reader read on, and interesting pictures that are photo copyable.

I would just like to say that I really enjoyed reading the magazine, especially the bit about the stars. I would like to know if there is going to be any more info about the stars and planets because it is really interesting.

Sophie

I just want to congratulate you on your fantastic and very useful magazine! It was very interesting and it taught a lot of things that I barely knew about. I was extremely interested in the ‘Meet Spirit and Opportunity’ article about the space probes on Mars. The other interesting article was on the Moon and how it was created by the Earth smashing into another planet.
Thanks again,

I have recently read Issue 1: Mars: The Red Planet, which I found very interesting as it was full of fun facts that I enjoyed reading. I like the way you set out your magazine as it has a variety of eye-catching pictures and speech bubbles. In this way I find the magazine keeps my eyes glued to the page!

I cannot wait until Issue 2 and will look forward to reading what it has to offer! I hope you continue with Starlight magazines as I would like to collect the different issues.

Tim, The Leys

I recieved a copy of your magazine and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really like the way it is set out. The article on the Mars probe was very interesting. I liked the 'Star Struck' page, it was really good because I could go outside and see what I could see.

I think that you have written your magazine very well, including lots of factual detail and pictures. However, I also believe that when you are putting across your facts, you are not explaining them in enough detail.

If you are looking to inprove your magazine, I suggest that you explain your points in a better use of words (as I think that the points you are making are valid and interesting) as this will make it an easier, more understandadble and enjoyable read.
