Articles

From time to time, I publish longer-form articles on selected astronomical topics.

These texts sit somewhere between scientific exposition and reflective essay.
They are grounded in current research and observational practice, yet written for readers who are curious rather than specialised.

The focus lies on phenomena that invite deeper context: meteor showers, observational astronomy, light pollution, or the physical processes behind what we see in the night sky.
