Astro Motion

Astro Motion is a free, single-page Bootstrap 5 HTML5 website template from TemplateMO for astronomy- and space-themed sites, centered on a looping background video and a dark gallery layout.

What is Astro Motion?

Astro Motion is a one-page website template built with Bootstrap 5, HTML5, and CSS3, designed for astronomy-related websites. It takes a hero section with a looping background video (which you can replace with your own file), a gallery of images, a contact form, and a Google Maps embed, and outputs a fully responsive single HTML page. The template is distributed by ThemeWagon and was created by TemplateMO, and it is open source with lifetime free updates.

Key Features

• Background video looping — a smooth, attractive hero video that cycles automatically and can be swapped for a different video file.
• Bootstrap 5 framework — built on the current Bootstrap release with a responsive grid, components, and utilities.
• Single-page layout — all sections (hero, gallery, contact, map) live on one HTML page, so there is no navigation between pages.
• Gallery section with hover effects — images respond to mouse-over with an on-hover effect.
• Slick slider — the gallery uses the Slick carousel library for touch-friendly, scrollable slides.
• Pre-loader — a loading animation displays while the page initializes.
• Contact form — a built-in form for visitor inquiries; note it requires backend handling to actually send messages.
• Google Maps and Google Fonts — a Google Maps embed for location display and Google Fonts for typography.
• Cross-browser compatibility — renders correctly in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and mobile browsers.
• 100% responsive — layout adapts to phones, tablets, and desktops.

Who is it for?

Astro Motion suits anyone building a promotional or portfolio site with an astronomical theme. Astronomy clubs and organizations can use it to announce events, show astrophotos, and display a meeting location via the embedded map. Amateur astrophotographers can replace the gallery and hero video with their own captures to create a visual portfolio. Educators and science communicators can host a one-page resource site with contact form and space imagery. Space-themed startups or agencies can present services and a call-to-action button in the hero.

What can you do with Astro Motion?

• Showcase astrophotography: replace the demo gallery images and hero video with your own photos and clips, using the Slick slider and hover effects to present them.
• Promote an astronomy event or club: use the hero header, call-to-action button, and Google Maps embed to give visitors event details and directions.
• Launch a simple one-page educational site: combine text sections, images, and the contact form to share space facts or course information.
