Engineering student life, astrophotography, and aerospace, in short form.
Astroori started as a place to combine astrophotography, engineering, and research. It has also become where I post day-in-my-life clips, funny student videos, and the more relatable side of trying to become an aerospace engineer.
In its first 60 days the page passed 200,000 views, and it has since grown past 1.5 million. I want it to keep showing the real mix: serious projects, school, space, and the parts of engineering life people actually connect with.
Drag the cube to spin it, and tap a face to watch that reel on Instagram.
A lot of Astroori starts here: setting up the telescope, aligning the mount, collecting data, and working through the little problems that come with imaging at night.
The final image is only one piece of the process. The setup, testing, and troubleshooting are where the engineering side shows up.

Astroori is for people who like aerospace, engineering school, research, astrophotography, and the funny or stressful moments that come with being a student.
