Odyssey was a monthly science magazine for children ages 9–14, created by Richard Berry, editor of Astronomy.
A single panel comic, "Springboard", written by John Leatherman, was also featured in the magazine.
The magazine expanded its focus to science in general and Ulysses was discontinued as a mascot.
Reader questions were answered by microbiologist Cy Borg, and the magazine also featured a short fiction section until 2015.
Some other features included tracking the discoveries from the Voyager 1 and 2 space probes as they flew by planets in the solar system in the 1980s.
