Orbital Studies Magazine is a print-first publication featuring beautifully crafted and poetically attuned writing and visual art engaging with science, nature, math, technology, and the philosophy that relates them.

Readers of Orbital Studies Magazine are literate and numerate. Their interest draws them beneath the fastest-paced layers of culture towards slower processes of more substance. They are broadly curious, but still discerning. Where they are critical, they are not dismissive. They care about beauty, but are suspicious of trends. They appreciate seriousness but are mindful of elitism.

They live in a world where the “Two Cultures” of the arts and sciences, of nature and culture, are not separate, but orbit and attract each other in the space of ideas. They recognize that the most groundbreaking science has been informed by philosophy and the most meaningful philosophy has been informed by science, aspiring to a rigorous relationship with both of these worlds.
