About Author
Raj is a science writer at Starlust, where he explores the cosmos, one story at a time.

Raj believes that space writing should not just inform, but spark curiosity. Whether he’s diving into the latest astronomical discovery or decoding the Moon’s daily rhythm, his goal is always the same: to remind us how thrilling it is to be part of a universe this vast.
Area of Interest
