In 2015, physicist Laurent Marfisi and his team of astronomers and engineers realized that while the night sky inspired awe in many, the tools to explore it felt out of reach for most. So they built Unistellar—a company that blended cutting-edge tech with a sense of wonder. Their mission wasn’t just to build telescopes, but to invite everyday stargazers into a global network of sky-watchers. The community responded, and Unistellar has grown into one of the most accessible and connected astronomy communities today. Members gather around their shared curiosity, using smart telescopes not only to look up, but to contribute to real scientific discovery.
