About Us
Welcome to PhilipMetzger.com, a place where curiosity about the cosmos becomes something you can build with your hands, observe through the night sky, and share with others.
This website began as the personal project of Philip Metzger, who shared his deep knowledge of space science here for many years. His articles and insights inspired countless readers to look up at the night sky with fresh wonder.
Recently, Philip returned full-time to his research, continuing his important work in space exploration. But before stepping away, he wanted this site to continue its mission: inspiring people to connect with the cosmos. So, he handed it over to a close friend and fellow space enthusiast to carry the torch forward.
A New Chapter
Rather than let the site grow quiet, the new editor-in-chief decided to reimagine it, not as a technical archive, but as a creative and educational hub for everyone who loves the stars.
Today, PhilipMetzger.com blends the legacy of expert space writing with a fresh approach:
- The Cosmos, exploring galaxies, black holes, and the mysteries of the universe.
- Stargazing, practical tips on spotting stars, planets, and constellations, plus how to use telescopes and binoculars.
- Space Science, simplifying the latest discoveries and research for curious minds of all ages.
- Space Exploration explains about missions, spacecraft, astronauts, and the agencies driving humanity’s reach beyond Earth.
- Entertainment, where imagination meets science through movies, games, art, and stories that bring the cosmos closer to us.

To bring this vision to life, the new editor gathered a small team of passionate writers and educators. Together, we’re united by a belief that astronomy should be approachable, practical, and inspiring for everyone.
- The Editor-in-Chief, Darius Flynn, continues the journey Philip began, guiding the site’s vision and storytelling.
- The Storyteller, Leila Navarro, a lover of myths, legends, and constellation maps, brings cultural depth to the night sky.

We see this site as a relay: Philip Metzger ran the first lap, sharing knowledge and igniting curiosity. Now it’s our turn to carry the baton forward, turning research into real-world projects, constellations into stories you can find yourself in, and space science into something everyone can understand.
Astronomy belongs to everyone. So join us. Let’s explore the universe together.
