Welcome to Astronomy in the News Lite. This will be a complementary service to the regular Astronomy in the News bulletins. The two services will both be fortnightly, alternating between them but there is also the scope for special releases at any time! AITN Lite will give a brief description of a news story from the world of Astronomy, with some key facts, and some of the topics from the curriculums that you can look at in conjunction with it. It may highlight older stories that didn’t feature in an Astronomy in the News bulletin due to time pressures, and my research when I, or one of my colleagues publishes a paper!

I hope you enjoy this new service, and continue to subscribe to Astronomy in the News, and I cannot wait to share the exciting results from the world of astronomy with you.
