I love writing about latest discoveries in astronomy, from black holes and galaxies, to what is happening on the sun, how stars form and how they die, how telescopes work, AND MUCH MORE. I write journalistic articles, features, scripts for videos, astrophysics image descriptions, and other short write-ups. Below are clickable links to some of my recent work.
