The magazine was published from April 1886 to August 1888 as a supplement to the Swedish weekly Svenska Familj-Journalen Svea[2] and published translations of short stories by the leading science fiction writers of its time.[1]

Though many works about science fiction refer to Stella, finding traces or copies of the magazine has proved difficult[3] and some have concluded that Stella was a practical joke on the part of Swedish critic Sam J. Lundwall.[3]
