Eric Kumar

Space & Physics Writer

Eric Kumar writes about space and physics — the origins of things like the asteroid belt, the mechanics behind solar flares, and the milestones in space exploration that don't get revisited often enough, like the lesser-known Apollo missions. He's especially interested in questions that sound simple but turn out to have genuinely complicated answers, like what space actually smells like or why.

Eric likes digging into the actual physics behind a space story rather than stopping at the surprising fact alone, since the "why" behind these phenomena is usually more interesting than the trivia version that circulates online. He'd rather slow down and explain the real mechanism than leave readers with just a fun fact to repeat.

He writes for readers who are curious about space beyond the headlines — the kind of curiosity that wants a real explanation, not just a striking image.
