GalaxyOnline.com announced Tuesday that they have purchased Galaxy magazine.

Galaxy magazine was founded in 1950 and, under the editorial direction of H.L. Gold and Frederik Pohl, for the next two decades was a leading magazine in the science fiction literary genre. It ceased publication as a print periodical in the mid-1990s, although in recent years a Web site had been introduced. As part of their purchase of Galaxy, GalaxyOnline.com also obtains the rights to several domains held by Galaxy. The material contained on the site will ultimately be integrated into GalaxyOnline.com.

GalaxyOnline.com is also considering a relaunch of the print edition of the title.
