The domain was registered on December 30, 1998, and the website went live in March 1999. Universe Today assumed its current form on July 24, 2003, featuring astronomy news and other space-related content.

In early September 2005, the website’s forum section merged with Bad Astronomy to create a combined site with the BAUT forum.
