About StarLust

Tom Urbain

Hey! I’m Tom Urbain, the founder of StarLust.org. I’ve been fascinated by space and astronomy from a very young age. When I’m not watching space-themed documentaries, movies or TV series, I spend most of my free time in my backyard admiring the planets and galaxies with my telescope.

How It All Began

When we start talking about the universe, stargazing, telescopes, constellations…. It can very easily delve into a complex, technical and scientific conversation. Not everyone holds a PHD in astronomy and we appreciate that the apparent complexity of the subject can refrain some people from attempting to learn about these things.

StarLust is born from a simple idea.

Our goal is to make stargazing more accessible and more enjoyable for everyone. We don’t aspire to turn our readers into rocket scientists, but to simply offer content to people, like us, with a keen interest in astronomy but very little technical background.
