This month we look back to the past, at the present and into the future; you'd almost think we stole the plot from A Christmas Carol. Ian Morison talks to Sir Bernard Lovell about the origins of Jodrell Bank Observatory. We catch up with Chris Davis of the spacePod podcast to get the latest news on NASA's STEREO mission. Stuart talks to David Boyce about the possibility of ultraviolet astronomy from the Moon and of course we ask Tim your questions, get the news from Megan and Ian tells us what we can see in the night sky during February.
