+     "This package consists of several macros that are shorthand for a variety
+of physical constants, e.g. the speed of light.  The constants can be used in
+two forms, the most accurate available values, or versions that are rounded to
+3 significant digits for use in typical classroom settings, homework
+assignments, etc.  Most constants are taken from CODATA 2018, with the
+exception of the astronomical objects, whose values are taken from
+International Astronomical Union specified values.  Constants that are derived
+from true constants, e.g. the fine structure constant, have been calculated
+using the accepted values of the fundamental constants.")
