Cosmos News is one component of the Cosmos Portal , a comprehensive resource for timely, objective, science-based information about astronomy and space science, with other components including the Encyclopedia of the Cosmos, and the Cosmos Forum.

Cosmos News Content spans all topics on astronomy and space science.

Cosmos News provides three types of news from different sources:

• First, an RSS feed from news services selected by the Cosmos News editorial staff.
• Second, stories identified or submitted by authors and topic editors for the Encyclopedia of the Cosmos.
• Third, links to other news sites.

Cosmos News editorial staff inserts links into some news stories to connect them with material in the Encyclopedia of the Cosmos.
