STEPHEN JAMES O'MEARA is a renowned volcanologist, award-winning astronomer, and serial author. His books include Night Skies of Botswana, MARS: The Lure of the Red Planet, and a series of Deep Sky Companion books designed to help amateur astronomers get the most out of their observations.

He's known for his legendary eyesight and observational prowess, which have helped him become the first person to observe many incredible things, including Hailey's comet on its 1985 return, the rotation period of Uranus, and the mysterious spokes in Saturn's B-ring, which he was able to detect before the Voyager spacecraft imaged them. He also happens to have an asteroid named after him, and this just happens to be his first ever experience on a podcast!
