Hi! Larry Krumenaker here. A week ago I got a surprise email. I was offered a 20% discount to upgrade my The Galactic Times subscription. Except, I hadn’t actually sent it. Substack did, but only to selected subscribers.
It took me a while to find out how and why Substack did that {*I* certainly don’t need a discount!}, but then I decided it was time for everybody to get a shot at it. Especially since I plan on merging aspects of The Classroom Astronomer newsletter into TGT. The two newsletters together are too much for me to deal with right now, especially having finished two books in the first 5 months of 2024.
So….
There will be three-tiers of subscriptions—free, {aid, Professional Educator. The annual costs are—$0, $30, $35. Free subscribers get what goes out now, Sky Planning Calendar, Astronomy in Everyday Life, some This Just In news briefs, and other articles you have gotten already, including public outreach-related articles in the new Towards Cosmic Awareness column. Paid subscribers will start getting extra This Just In news briefs and the longer InDepth articles, longer than the occasional Deeper Looks. You also get access to the newsletters more than two issues ago! Professional Educators get everything above including extra posts of astronomy education conferences coming up (AAS, British NAM, and Communicating Astronomy to the Public), Teachniques for School astronomy education professionals, and the RAP Sheet of stories from the scholarly press.
You can get 20% off the annual fee from now until May 31st, 2024, by selecting the Summer Savings button below.
Thank you all for being readers of The Galactic Times ! Next free issue goes out on the 16th!
