LoudComet (loudcomet.com) is an independent guide to astronomy and space. We explain the night sky, the planets of our solar system and the history of space exploration in plain language, for curious readers of every age.
You don't need a telescope or a science degree to enjoy the universe. Our articles show you what to look for, how things work and why they matter, with practical tips for observing from your own backyard.
What you will find here
- Night Sky: stargazing, constellations, meteor showers and how to observe;
- Solar System: the Sun, the planets, their moons and the small worlds in between;
- Space Exploration: rockets, astronauts, telescopes and the missions that explored space.
Our commitment
- Accurate information that is easy to understand;
- Respect for the reader and for their privacy;
- Transparency about the informational nature of the site.
Safety first: never look at the Sun directly, or through binoculars or a telescope, without a certified solar filter.
How we write and review our articles
Every article on LoudComet is written and reviewed by the LoudComet editorial team. Before an article is published, we check its facts, numbers and safety advice against official scientific sources, such as NASA, the European Space Agency, the American Astronomical Society, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and the International Astronomical Union. The sources behind each article are listed at its end, so you can check them yourself.
We review articles when official guidance changes and correct mistakes as soon as we find them. If you spot an error, write to contact@loudcomet.com and we will look into it.
Our articles are general information for curious readers. Mission details and sky events change over time, so check the agencies' own pages for the latest information.
Advertising
LoudComet is free to read because it shows ads served by Google and managed by our advertising partner. Advertisers have no say in what we write, and ads are labeled so you can tell them apart from our content.
