<div>Universe Today is reporting and education about space and astronomy.   <a href="http://www.universetoday.com" rel="nofollow">Universe Today</a> has been reporting space and astronomy news since 1999, and thanks to your help, we're just getting started.  Back when I started the website, the mainstream media did a terrible job covering space and astronomy news, reducing content to the lowest common denominator. Since we started, we have published more than 20,000 articles, recorded hundreds of podcasts and videos. </div><div>We have always covered our costs through advertising, but now there's a better way: membership.
