This month, Izzie Clarke and Dr Becky Smethurst explore the star in our neighbourhood, the annoying habits you would banish there and the extreme stars further afield. Plus the Royal Astronomical Society trusts them with a very special book from their archives: Caroline Herschel's star atlas.

What annoying habits would you banish to the sun? Or have you tried some Astrophotography at home? Share with the team via [email protected] or tweet @RoyalAstroSoc.

With special thanks to Professor Lucie Green from University College London and Royal Astronomical Society librarian, Sian Prosser.
