About Starlust

Who We Are

Starlust is your companion to the cosmos - a destination for stargazers, explorers, and everyday dreamers who look up and wonder what lies beyond. Since its founding in 2019, Starlust has grown into a trusted source for skywatching guides, space exploration news, and visual storytelling that brings the universe closer to home.

Whether you’re identifying your first constellation, photographing the Moon, or following the latest Mars mission, Starlust helps you experience the night sky with confidence, clarity, and awe.

Starlust is operated and published by Scale Content Inc. and owned by Eleven Int Service Private Limited. Our editorial and business teams collaborate across time zones to support a global audience of readers and skywatchers.

Our Mission

We exist to turn curiosity into confidence.

Our mission is to deliver accurate, accessible, and visually engaging space journalism — from backyard astronomy to deep-space exploration. We believe 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 night-sky observations, astrophotography techniques, and practical skywatching guides.

What started as a small blog quickly attracted a global audience for its clarity, sincerity, and deep respect for science. Over time, Starlust became known for making complex astronomical events understandable - covering eclipses, meteor showers, planetary movements, and telescope techniques with accuracy and approachability.

In 2025, Starlust entered a new chapter under Eleven Int Service Private Limited, with Scale Content Inc. supporting editorial and commercial operations. Today, Starlust operates as an independent science publication within a collaborative global network, supported by journalists, researchers, and creatives who share a single goal: helping people rediscover the night sky.

What We Cover

Starlust publishes science-backed content designed to make space exploration approachable for everyone:

Skywatching & Astronomy Guides - Monthly night-sky highlights, meteor showers, lunar phases, and planetary alignments with clear “how and where to watch” guidance.
Space Exploration - Updates from NASA, ESA, ISRO, and private spaceflight missions, including discoveries and timelines.
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 understandable.

Editorial Values

Accuracy comes first. Every article is reviewed by experienced editors and fact-checked against primary sources, including space-agency data, peer-reviewed research, and verified expert commentary.

We prioritize clarity over jargon, explain the “why” behind discoveries, and separate verified facts from speculation or theoretical discussion.

Editorial independence is central to our identity. Coverage is never influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or affiliate relationships. Sponsored content is clearly labeled, and affiliate links are disclosed transparently.

When errors occur, we correct them promptly with visible, time-stamped updates in line with our Editorial Guidelines.
