About SpaceTheGuide

Space is for everyone. We just draw the map.

SpaceTheGuide is a growing guide to space, the galaxy and the universe. We turn complicated science into clear pages, practical tools and visuals you can trust — whether you are curious, studying, or working with the numbers.

01 — What we do

Three things, done carefully.

Guides

Plain-language pages on planets, stars, galaxies and cosmology, written to be read once and understood.

Tools

Calculators and converters for the questions that come up in study and work, with the method shown.

Visuals & data

Scale models, charts and reference figures that make distances and sizes easy to picture.

02 — How a guide is made

From source to page, in four orbits.

Every page follows the same path, so you always know where a fact came from and when it was last checked.

  1. Research

    We start from primary sources: space agencies, observatories and peer-reviewed work.

  2. Simplify

    We rewrite it in plain language, keeping the numbers exact and the units clear.

  3. Check

    Each figure is checked against its source, and the source is listed on the page.

  4. Update

    Science moves. Pages carry a "last reviewed" date and are revised when discoveries change the picture.

03 — Who it is for

Built for three kinds of explorer.

The curious

You looked up and wondered.

Short, friendly guides with no maths required.

Students

You need it to make sense.

Worked examples, learning paths and a glossary for revision.

Professionals

You need the number, fast.

Reference data and tools for teachers, writers and working scientists.

04 — The crew

The people behind the pages.
