SCIENCE COMMUNICATION · Workflow idea

Share a window on the universe with the credit and context intact.

For a reader or science communicator, prepare a daily astronomy image email from a verified public source and its accompanying explanation. Image rights and credit requirements can vary, and scientific captions can be simplified out of context. Check the source date, attribution, and use terms, preserve explanatory context and uncertainty, use a private recipient list, and seek editorial approval before reuse in a public or commercial post.
