SF without the fiction! Front covers of Urania from 1941 Although Urania was the journal of the Junior Astronomical Association, an organization which dealt mainly in the fact of astronomy and space travel, it did attract science-related contributions from the well-known SF fans among the membership: Arthur Clarke, Harry Turner and Douglas Webster to name but three. And for this reason, the 1941 covers with H.T. artwork have been included in this section of the website. The magazine was edited in Glasgow by Marion F. Eadie, the future Mrs. Turner.
