How an Astronomy Obsession Made a Teen an Influencer in Space Education

While other kids were into football or video games, I was memorizing moon phases and learning about dark matter.

I used to annoy people by constantly blurting out:

“Did you know Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is actually a massive storm bigger than Earth?”

Everyone thought I was weird.
Now, over 50,000 people follow my space fact posts. Some of them? Actual NASA staff.

The Turning Point:

I was in science class, correcting the teacher about a comet fact.
One classmate said:

“You should just make a page and teach this stuff.”

So I did. I posted my first carousel:
“5 Space Facts You’ll Wish You Knew Sooner.”

It went viral.

Steps I Took (Actionable):

✅ Step 1: I Picked My Niche Inside the Niche

Not general science. Just space.
Planets, black holes, nebulae, time dilation. I went all in.

✅ Step 2: I Made Bite-Sized, Visual Posts

I used free tools like Canva to create quick, shareable slides.
Bold headlines, short facts, cool space pics = instant engagement.

✅ Step 3: I Simplified the Complex

I took Einstein’s theory of relativity and broke it into a 60-second reel.
People loved that I made them “feel smart” in 1 minute.

✅ Step 4: I Made a Weekly Series

Every Monday: Mind-Blowing Space Fact
Every Friday: “Guess the Planet” Quiz
Consistency made me recognizable.

✅ Step 5: I Reached Out to Science Pages

I messaged mid-size science pages for collaborations and shoutouts.
One of them reposted me—and everything changed.

What Changed for Me (The Outcome):

I’m now recognized as a young voice in space education.
My posts are shared in classrooms.
NASA employees follow me. One DM’d me to say,

“You explain this stuff better than most textbooks.”

I’ve been invited to co-host a science podcast, and I even got a free telescope from a brand.

Advice for Others with This Obsession:

• Don’t wait to be an expert. Start sharing now.

• Use visuals. Space is beautiful—show it.

• Post consistently. Algorithms love it, but so do people.

• Engage with other science lovers, even small accounts.

• Keep it short, smart, and shareable.

Your obsession with something as vast as the universe can absolutely influence others.

Final Thought:

“From nerdy kid in the back row to someone who educates 50,000 minds—just by following what I love.”

If you’re obsessed with a topic that seems “too niche,” lean into it.
The internet is full of people waiting to learn from your obsession.
