In conjunction to the Global Astronomy Month, I have personally started a YouTube channel t(Syahirah Stargazer) my knowledge about stargazing and raise awareness about the night sky to the public. So far I've made 10 main videos under the "Stargazer Vlogs" category and casual videos under the title "Startalk".

Based on Stargazer Vlogs, I shared on how to stargaze and basic knowledge about the celestial events such as the Full Moon Perigee, Meteor Shower and planet watching. Meanwhile in Startalk videos I discussed about my personal top 10 objects to observe in the night sky as to give ideas to my viewers on what to look out for in the night sky. These are the list of videos that I have posted:

Stargazer Vlogs:

• Stargazer Vlog 1: How to Stargaze

I first promoted my first vlog in Twitter and received 703 retweets. Then, I slowly shifted to YouTube as YouTube is a better platform for educational videos.
