About Galaxy Blog

Making the Cosmos
Feel Like Home

Galaxy Blog launched in 2017 with one mission: to make the wonder of the universe accessible to everyone, from curious beginners to seasoned astrophotographers. Founded by science writer and amateur astronomer Dr. Lena Voss, we translate the latest discoveries into stories anyone can fall in love with.

From practical stargazing guides to deep dives on black holes, exoplanets, and the missions reshaping our understanding of space, we cover the cosmos with rigour, clarity, and a healthy sense of awe.

What the Crew Says

"Galaxy Blog reignited my childhood love of the stars. The writing makes complex astrophysics genuinely understandable, and the telescope guide helped me buy my first scope. Pure wonder, every week."

"The sky-event alerts are incredible — I've never missed a meteor shower or eclipse since joining. The astrophotography packs alone are worth the Voyager membership. This is my favourite corner of the internet."

"As a high school science teacher, I use Galaxy Blog articles in my lessons constantly. They're accurate, beautifully written, and my students actually get excited about space. An invaluable resource."

Questions

Frequently Asked

Not at all! Galaxy Blog is written for curious minds of every level. We carefully explain the science behind every story without dumbing it down, so whether you're a complete beginner or a physics graduate, you'll find something to love. Wonder is the only prerequisite.

We publish in-depth articles every week, plus a monthly sky-watching guide for the upcoming month's celestial events. Explorer and Voyager members also receive real-time alerts for major sky events like eclipses, meteor showers, and planetary alignments so you never miss a moment.

Absolutely. Every article is researched against peer-reviewed sources and current mission data, and our founder holds a doctorate in astrophysics. When science is uncertain or debated, we say so clearly. We'd rather be honest about the unknowns than oversimplify the universe.

Explorer and Voyager members get access to our private community where readers share their astrophotography, swap gear advice, organise local stargazing meetups, and get their questions answered. Our monthly live Q&A sessions with guest astronomers happen there too — it's the beating heart of Galaxy Blog.

Yes, with zero hassle. Explorer is billed monthly and can be cancelled anytime — you keep access until your period ends. Voyager is annual with a reminder before renewal. And of course, the free Stargazer tier is yours forever with no strings attached.
