Comments on: Your interactive stellar neighborhood http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/30/your-interactive-stellar-neighborhood/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.
