Founder & Chief Editor

NOUR AMOR

What inspired me to start this magazine is that while many teens like me are very passionate about space science and astronomy, not all of them have access to dive deeper in this field due to the lack of resources and opportunities. So I decided to build a space for teenagers to learn more, foster their skills and have the chance to reach their goals.
