145	** Creator/LesterDelRey's "{{Literature/Reincarnate}}"
146	** Creator/RobertAHeinlein's "Literature/BlowupsHappen"

154	** The September 1940 issue advertises the continuation of "{{Literature/Slan}}", as well as Creator/HarryBates's "Literature/FarewellToTheMaster" and Creator/LSpragueDeCamp's "Literature/TheEarthSavers".
155	* RaygunGothic: The cover of the June 1940 issue has chrome vespas and sidecars zipping down a crome street with chrome buildings in the background, with people holding chrome handguns. Everything is on a slant and there are lots of subtle curves to imply high-speed movement.
156	* RetroRocket: The cover of the May 1940 issue has a dull chrome rocket taking off at night. In addition to the four small fins near the base where the main rocket fires, there's also two thin wings closer to the nose of the rocket.

160	** Creator/AEVanVogt's ''{{Literature/Slan}}'' was published in four parts, starting with the September 1940 issue.
161	* ScienceMarchesOn: [[invoked]] In the September 1940 editorial, "Full Cycle", Chief Editor Creator/JohnWCampbell describes how he was worried that the events of "Literature/BlowupsHappen" would have been proven impossible (and it was), but then ''even more recent knowledge'' had been published in scientific journals that make Creator/RobertAHeinlein's idea that reactors can have runaway explosions a valid concern again.

164	** Creator/LeighBrackett's "Literature/MartianQuest" and "Literature/TheTreasureOfPtakuth"

173	* ShoutOut:

175	** The September 1940 issue nonfiction article, "Universe for Lenses" by Creator/RSRichardson, says "the juiciest plums in physical science always seem to be just a little beyond our reach", a reference to Tantalus from Myth/ClassicalMythology.

188	* ToBeContinued:
189	** When Creator/LRonHubbard's "Literature/FinalBlackout" was [[SerialNovel serialized]] in the April 1940 issue of ''Magazine/AstoundingStories'', Part One ends with the lieutenant going to sleep, reflecting on how the war is over and England would not accept him anymore.
190	** When Creator/AEVanVogt's ''{{Literature/Slan}}!'' was [[SerialNovel serialized]] in the September 1940 issue of ''Magazine/AstoundingStories'', Part One ends with adult slans planning on killing the protagonist.
191	* TotalEclipseOfThePlot:
192	** The cover of the March 1940 issue features an eclipse of the sun by {{UsefulNotes/Uranus}}, as [[AlienSky seen from a rocky surface with no atmosphere]].
193	** The cover of the September 1940 issue is based on the nonfiction article, "Universe for Lenses" by Creator/RSRichardson, which describes the difference between a geometric eclipse and the lensing effect in eclipses predicted by UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein's Theory of General Relativity. The art shows a (blue) white dwarf eclipsing a (red) supergiant.
194	** Another article in the September 1940 issue, Creator/StanleyRShort's "The Coronavisor", begins by summarizing the first records of a solar eclipse, as given by the ''Literature/AnnalsOfTheBambooBooks'' and ''Literature/ShuChing''. Eclipses are important because they allow astronomers to study the corona of the sun.
