Author of Spacecraft Messier, Valeria first created this site during her freshman year in high school in 2015. What started out as a school project to present her knowledge of astronomy to her class quickly became her personal hub to further educate herself and the public about current astronomical affairs. She is proud to have created an outlet to harbor her deep love for astronomy, from writing interesting reports to posting her own astrophotography content after a good stargazing session. Valeria's passion for the night sky goes back as far as when she was eight-years old, checking out several books from her local library about all the planets in the solar system and never being able to take her eyes off the numerous captivating photos of the cosmos. Today, as a senior in high school, Valeria is looking forward to graduating and later obtaining a degree in astrophysics.
