Astronomy on UseNet


Usenet News groups are bulletin boards where you can take part in discussions with people from all over the world. In most of these groups you will be able to post your own comments or ask questions. In some groups, called moderated groups, require that all messages be sent through a moderator who approves the post, but in most groups you can post directly. It is considered impolite to post comments that do not relate to the group's subject.

When you click on one of the News Groups your browser will start your news reader and transfer control to it.
