'Are you interested in the space and astronomy news but feel like there's just too much
going on to stay on top of it all? Universe Today is different from your regular
news website. Instead of writing in-depth articles, we just provide an overview,
and links to sites where you can get more detail - from where the news first breaks
to all the media coverage, and even related resources. We find all the stories,
even the really obscure ones, and gather them together in one fast,
easy-to-read newsletter (free of technical jargon). You only need to spend
10 minutes a day, and you'll be completely up-to-date on all the breaking news
in the space industry.'
