The people behind Celest
Meet the team
Celest is currently built by one person, but this page is designed to grow with every writer, reviewer, engineer and specialist who may help shape the project in the future.
Team information updated: 16 September 2026
Petroiu Ionut-Viorel
Celest author, product builder and AI engineer. I currently handle the product direction, astronomy research, writing, design, engineering and the many small decisions that turn an idea into a useful observing tool.
A team page built for what comes next
Calling this page Team is not meant to suggest a larger organisation than the one that exists. Celest is transparent about being a one-person independent project today. The page simply creates a proper home for future contributors instead of forcing the project to invent a new structure later.
When writers, astronomy specialists, reviewers, designers or engineers join, their names, roles and contributions will be presented here clearly.
Work with Celest
Thoughtful collaborations, factual corrections and relevant specialist input are welcome. There is no anonymous editorial collective behind the project and no contribution will be presented without attribution.
