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.
