Our Mission
sellingvis.com was founded with a singular vision: to make the wonders of the universe accessible to everyone. We believe that understanding our place in the cosmos is not just a scientific pursuit — it is a profoundly human one. Every day, astronomers, physicists, and cosmologists make discoveries that reshape our understanding of reality. Our mission is to bridge the gap between those discoveries and the curious minds eager to understand them.
We produce long-form features, news analysis, visual explainers, and interviews with leading researchers. Our journalism is grounded in peer-reviewed science, reviewed by subject-matter experts, and crafted by writers who live and breathe astronomy. Whether you are a seasoned astrophysicist or someone who simply enjoys looking up at the night sky, sellingvis.com has something for you.
Our Team
We are a distributed team of science writers, editors, astronomers, and designers scattered across four continents. What unites us is a shared conviction that science communication matters. In an era of misinformation, clear, accurate, and compelling science journalism is more important than ever.
Our editorial team includes PhDs in astrophysics, former NASA communicators, and award-winning science journalists. We also collaborate with working researchers who contribute guest articles, fact-check our stories, and ensure that every piece we publish meets the highest standards of scientific accuracy.
Editorial Standards
Every article published on sellingvis.com goes through a rigorous editorial process:
- Source verification: All claims are traced back to peer-reviewed research, official observatory data, or direct interviews with domain experts.
- Expert review: Complex scientific articles are reviewed by at least one subject-matter expert before publication to ensure accuracy and context.
- Clarity over hype: We avoid sensationalism. Our goal is to inform and inspire, not to exaggerate or mislead. When a discovery is uncertain, we say so.
- Corrections policy: If we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently, with a note at the top of the article explaining what was changed and why.
- Independence: Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial, political, or institutional interests. We disclose funding sources and potential conflicts of interest.
Our Story
sellingvis.com began in 2021 as a small newsletter among friends — astrophysics graduate students and science writers who wanted a space to share the stories that excited them most. That newsletter grew from a few hundred subscribers to tens of thousands. In 2023, we launched the full website you see today, expanding from weekly digests to daily coverage of breaking discoveries, long-form features, and interactive visualizations.
What started as a passion project has grown into one of the most trusted voices in space and astronomy journalism. We have been cited by major news outlets, featured in science communication awards, and most importantly, we hear every day from readers who tell us our articles sparked their curiosity or inspired them to pursue a career in science. That is why we do what we do.
