SPACE.com
Space.com is a website dedicated to news about space and astronomy. Its articles are frequently shared with other news organizations, such as CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo!, and USA Today. Founded in July 1999 by former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs and Rich Zahradnik, Space.com quickly gained traction. At the time, Dobbs held a significant stake in the company and made headlines when he decided to leave CNN later that year to take on the role of CEO for Space.com. This unexpected career shift sparked considerable media interest and discussion.

They call La Palma the island of stars, and in April 2025, it became the epicenter for science, stargazing and music. I was there for STARMUS, a festival that brings together Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, musicians and science enthusiasts for several days of talks, performances and cosmic inspiration. But nothing prepared me for the moment I first looked up at the night sky. Standing upon the rooftop terrace of our hotel, in the beautiful town of Los Llanos de Aridane, I was in awe.
