About Francois Hoogstrate
Founder & Editor of DeepSpaceJournal
Space has fascinated me for as long as I can remember.
Not because it promises easy answers, but because it constantly challenges what we think we know. Every new discovery, every historic mission, and every unexplained phenomenon tells part of the story of our universe.
That curiosity eventually led to the creation of DeepSpaceJournal—a place where scientific discoveries, space history, astronomy, and the mysteries of the cosmos come together in clear, well-researched articles that are accessible to everyone.
Whether I am writing about NASA missions, black holes, exoplanets, UFO reports, the James Webb Space Telescope, or historic spaceflight, my goal is always the same:
Present the facts, explore the evidence, and separate science from speculation.
My Mission
The internet is full of sensational headlines about space.
Some articles exaggerate scientific discoveries.
Others present speculation as fact.
DeepSpaceJournal was created to offer something different.
Every article is written with the intention of helping readers understand what scientists actually know, what remains uncertain, and why unanswered questions are often just as fascinating as the answers themselves.
Science is constantly evolving.
That is exactly what makes it so exciting.
What I Write About
At DeepSpaceJournal, I focus on a wide range of space-related topics, including:
- NASA missions and discoveries
- Space exploration and astronautics
- Astronomy and astrophysics
- Black holes and neutron stars
- Exoplanets and the search for life
- UFOs and UAPs from a scientific perspective
- Historic space missions
- Cosmology and the evolution of the universe
- Planetary science
- Space technology and future missions
Every article aims to explain complex scientific topics in a way that is engaging, accurate, and easy to understand.
My Research Process
Before publishing an article, I compare information from multiple reliable sources whenever possible.
These often include:
- NASA
- ESA (European Space Agency)
- Peer-reviewed scientific publications
- Government space agencies
- Scientific journals
- Historical archives
- Official mission reports
- Academic research
Whenever a topic involves uncertainty or ongoing scientific debate, I make that clear rather than presenting speculation as fact.
This balanced approach is an important part of DeepSpaceJournal.
Why I Cover UFOs and Space Mysteries
Some readers are surprised to see articles about UFOs, UAPs, or famous space mysteries alongside articles about astronomy and planetary science.
The reason is simple.
These topics are part of the history of aviation and space exploration.
However, I approach them from a scientific perspective.
Rather than promoting extraordinary claims, I examine the available evidence, official investigations, eyewitness accounts, and the most widely accepted scientific explanations.
Curiosity is valuable.
Critical thinking is essential.
Both belong together.
My Goal
I believe science should be understandable for everyone.
You do not need to be an astronomer, engineer, or physicist to enjoy learning about the universe.
If an article inspires someone to learn more about astronomy, space exploration, or scientific discovery, then it has achieved exactly what I hoped it would.
