Who We Are
Starlust is your companion to the cosmos - a destination for stargazers, explorers, and everyday dreamers who look up and wonder what’s out there. Since its founding in 2019, Starlust has grown into a trusted source for skywatching guides, space exploration news & updates, and stories that bring the universe closer to home.
Whether you’re charting your first constellation, photographing the Moon, or following the next Mars mission, Starlust helps you experience the sky with confidence and awe.
Our Mission
We exist to turn curiosity into confidence.
Our mission is to deliver accurate, accessible, and visually engaging space journalism that celebrates the wonder of exploration - from the backyard to the outer planets.
We believe that space should inspire everyone, not intimidate anyone.
Our Story
Starlust began in 2019 as a personal project by Tom Urbain, a lifelong astronomy enthusiast who documented his night-sky observations, astrophotography techniques, and skywatching guides.
What started as a humble blog quickly found a global audience - not just for its stunning imagery but for its practical, friendly approach to space. Over the next few years, Starlust became known for its clarity, sincerity, and deep respect for science. It covered everything from solar eclipses and meteor showers to lunar photography and telescope guides, steadily building a worldwide community of readers.
In 2025, Starlust entered a new chapter when it joined Eleven Int Service Private Limited, an digital media company, and Scale Content Inc., a U.S.-based publishing company that manages editorial and commercial operations in the United States.
Together, these two companies provide the resources, structure, and reach to help Starlust expand while preserving its independent, curiosity-driven ethos.
Today, Starlust operates as an independent digital publication within a collaborative global network, supported by a small but passionate team of journalists, researchers, and creatives who share a single goal - to help people rediscover the night sky.
What We Cover
We publish a wide range of content designed to make space exploration and skywatching approachable for everyone:
Skywatching & Astronomy Guides: Monthly night-sky highlights, meteor showers, lunar phases, and planetary alignments - including where, when, and how to watch them.
Space Exploration: Updates from NASA, ESA, ISRO, and private spaceflight ventures; mission timelines and discoveries.
Telescope & Gear Reviews: Independent, hands-on reviews of telescopes, binoculars, cameras, and astronomy accessories.
Astrophotography & Science Features: Tutorials, explainers, and visual essays that make complex science easy to understand.
Editorial Values
At Starlust, accuracy comes first. Every article is reviewed by experienced editors and fact-checked against primary sources - scientific journals, space-agency data, and verified expert commentary.
We avoid jargon, explain the “why” behind every story, and always aim for clarity over complexity.
Editorial independence is central to our identity. Our coverage is never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or affiliates. Sponsored content, when present, is clearly labeled, and affiliate links are disclosed transparently.
When we make mistakes, we correct them quickly and openly, with time-stamped updates in line with our Editorial Guidelines.
We’re also committed to diversity in sourcing and storytelling, ensuring that voices from across the world - amateur astronomers, scientists, educators, and enthusiasts - are represented in our coverage.
