* Astronomy

Visitors to this site are often puzzled by certain aspects to it. This site is an Astronomy News Portal, or more accurately an astronomy vortal to other content on the World Wide Web; it is not a personal blog, forum or chatroom. The content is free to use, copy (fair use) or update; no special logins are required to access the public files. This site does not require referrals, linkbacks or accreditation - only a passion for astronomy.

This site caters for all levels of understanding - from beginners to advanced.
The site is not restricted by geography or politics, and provides information for all aspects of astronomy from practical to theoretical, (if there is a subject that you would like more coverage of, then just PM me).

A web portal or links page is a web site that functions as a point of access to information in the World Wide Web. A portal presents information from diverse sources in a unified way.
Apart from the standard search engine feature, web portals offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices, information, databases and entertainment. Portals provide a way for enterprises to provide a consistent look and feel with access control and procedures for multiple applications and databases, which otherwise would have been different entities altogether.
