Hi there. Welcome to StarLust.
My name is Tom and I’m the creator of this website. If you ended up here while looking to learn more about space, astronomy and stargazing… welcome home.
Today, we know that our solar system is just one tiny part of a supermassive universe. A long time ago, we discovered that neither Earth nor the Sun is at the centre of the universe but our hunger for exploration is stronger than ever.
For people like you and I, it will never be possible to travel to those distant worlds and discover these uncharted territories. The only way for us to get a glimpse of the universe is through the eyepiece of a telescope.
Anyone interested in stargazing will probably face two obstacles: the amount of technical knowledge required for this hobby as well as the cost. StarLust aims to help you learn how to observe every celestial objects in the night sky without ruining your bank account.
Since the time of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, we have learned a lot more about the cosmos. More than 3,600 extrasolar planets have been identified and the rate of discovery is increasing rapidly. This is an exciting time to start learning how to use a telescope.
