- Diederich 5y agoI had a subscription in the late 70s and early 80s. Very enjoyable material. (: Some fraction of it would be somewhat rigorous science, but the rest was pretty fanciful, fun stuff. ADDED: Beautiful, and here's the relatively short lived TV show Omni Magazine: The New Frontier (1987) https://youtu.be/kdwEGc_g6Gw?t=68 https://youtu.be/kdwEGc_g6Gw?t=68 Great stuff.
- msgilligan 5y agoMy mother subscribed in the late 80's because she was dating a science professor (who she eventually married) and wanted to be more conversant in science. I remember visiting her and picking up the latest issue from her coffee table. The headline story: DINOSAUR SEX -- complete with full-color artist's renditions. I had a great time teasing her about it. https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2017/07/vintage-dinosaur-art-tyrannosaurus-sex.html https://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2017/07/vintage-dinosaur-ar...
