I have (had) about six National Geographic magazine special editions (latest was "Are We Alone"). Does anyone out there have a list of these editions? I've lost a few and can't seem to find them for replacement... |

Mike, I have about 30(?) space related National Geographics sitting on my shelf. If I have time, I will post a list or email you a list. |

Thanks mate. I thought I had all the "special" issues dedicated to space... apparently not!! Naturally, I have bucket loads of the monthly issues back to 1946 with sections devoted to space, but these oversised issues?Had seven in all. |

I'm not sure what are National Geographic special editions.In the same format as the standard edition with space topic making the cover: - Destination Pluto, July 2015
- Race to the Red Planet, November 2016
Larger format issues (special publications): - The Next Earth: What our World Can Teach Us About Other Planets, 2017.
- Interstellar: The Science and Secrets of Solar Systems, 2016.
- Astronauts: Past, Present, Future, 2017.

Not sure if this counts, but I've found "Guide to the Night Sky" from 2015. |

Thanks gentleman. Knew of "Night Sky" so will have a look at it. Found a brand new "Interstellar" on eBay OZ yesterday for $10.Wish they'd do one on space stations. |
