Best astronomy news sites

[DaveHKent]

Anyone got some recommendations for the best place to keep up with the latest astronomy news, especially what is visible from the UK?

I missed the news about the new comet until mainstream media started posting impressive pictures. Typically it is set to be cloudy here for the rest of the week! I've checked a few news sites and there is no mention of it in a lot of the news sides. I need somewhere to add to my daily trawl of news that is far more interesting than Brexit and Coronavirus!

You can register on the Sky at Night website - they will send a 'sky this week' email along with some unobtrusive marketing. Astronomy Now also issue email updates although less frequently and I use Spaceweather to check in on solar activity, although they do report on other other astronomical events.

Both magazines have the free email newsletter subscription on the front page.

Cheers. I have been subscribed to sky at night for a few years and never noticed that service. I have probably ignored it as a spam generator. I’ll give that a go.
