Welcome to my Name A Star Live blog about space and astronomy! I've been an astronomer and have worked in the aerospace industry for many years. Each month I'll:

• Show you what stars, planets, and constellations you can see in the night sky;
• List what Name A Star Live constellations (areas of the night sky) will be visible for the next couple of months;
• Discuss special astronomical events like comets, meteor showers and eclipses that are coming up;
• Brief you on interesting space missions that NASA or other agencies or aerospace companies are planning to launch;
• Answer any questions you may have about astronomy and space exploration.
