To celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009, Physics World has
devoted the whole of its March issue to the exploration of the cosmos.

The issue includes interviews with leading figures from the world of
astronomy, who reveal what they think are the biggest challenges for the
subject.

Other feature articles look at the search for exoplanets, the development of
planetary exploration, the return to the Moon, astronomers' plans for
extra-large telescopes, and the legacy of Galileo. We also showcase five
iconic images from astronomy.

IN DEPTH

Stars in his eyes
Inspiring public interest in the night sky is one of the key objectives of
the International Year of Astronomy. You can be sure then that the Public
Astronomer of the UK — Marek Kukula — is experiencing a very high workload
right now. Physics World reporter James Dacey managed to steal a bit of time
from Kukula's schedule to find out about his job, his interests, and his
thoughts on the future of astronomy.
