What is Polus?
Polus (pronounced /'poʊ.ləs/, from Greek πόλος "pole; night sky") is a free, ad-free website dedicated to sharing information about astronomy. That could be a galaxy, an exoplanet, or a mathematical concept in astrophysics, among many, many other things.
It uses a wiki-like principle: everyone can edit any page to help improve the website. And that includes you!
