Cool. Thanks for the tip! Other than Borders, anyone saw this copy being sold at other retail outlets near central area?

"On page 10 of this issue of NatGeo, it seems there is an instance of bad astronomy. Over a beautiful backdrop of the Orion Nebula, there is a statement that seems erroneous: "1 million years old is the age of light from the center of the milky way that reaches Earth."

isn't light that reaches us from the center of the Milky Way only 27,000 years old?"

I know even the magazine stand at Plaza Singapura near the MRT entrance sells NatGeo magazine.
