How the CosmicWisdom blog started?
The author saw that most space-related sources are either too professional, hard to grasp, or filled with jargon, whereas other sources are oversimplified, but there are rarely intermediate-level astronomy blogs that don’t engage in math-heavy terms while keeping the information level more advanced than beginner.
What’s the purpose of CosmicWisdom?
This blog provides the advanced to intermediate level of cosmic facts which may cross the boundaries of a simple stargazing hobby. In fact, to provide an accurate understanding of the universe is the prime objective of this blog while not confusing the readers with equations, sums, or other technical words. Each term was, is, and will be explained enough for a commoner without a heavy astronomical background to grasp. Don’t be confused by the words we used, like intermediate; everyone is welcome to come and read the posts.
Which sources this blog uses?
This is mainly diversified but comes mainly from books, research papers, newsletters, and other heavily scientific relevant topics from Cambridge, Harvard, and other well-respected sources. You can say reading this blog's articles gets you the same info but in easy language without math or other terms that non-experts often try to avoid.
What about the contents like diagrams, images and animations?
These are the author’s other explanatory ways to make sure readers receive relevant and diversified facts. Often serving as a way to explain what the author wants to explain. Almost 90% of them are created by the author, and some cartoons and other artworks you see could be AI-generated.

The author uses one or more software programs and a mix of hardware to create them. Yes, the author never touched a telescope just watched the night sky and studied deeply in astronomy, and now create animations and content appropriate/accurate to both nature and science. You can see our primary tools list here:
Hardware:
* AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU
* Nvidia Geforce Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super GPU
* Corsair Vengeance 16 GB x2 sticks = 32 GB RAM

How AI generated are used in this blog?
They are used for certain textures like Solar system planets, for near-accurate textures. AI generated cartoons/anime you see in “Did you know?” Banners mainly. AI can also be used to check certain subtle facts but not as proven unless it satisfies the verified facts, sometimes used to minimize the grammatical errors which are pretty rare since the author uses its own style to write and create contents.
