| Description: |
By an award winning astronomer, this non-technical guide to the sky is full of practical hints. |
| Synopsis: |
The perfect introduction for the novice astronomer, this book stirs the imagination and puts observation in a framework of social activity and personal adventure. Written by an award-winning amateur astronomer and columnist, it is a technical guide to the sky, full of helpful practical hints. The lively and fresh style of the author will engage, entertain, and inform the reader. Newcomers will learn how to enjoy the Moon, planets, comets, meteors, and distant galaxies observable through a small telescope. For instance, author Levy describes the features of the Moon from night to night; how to observe constellations in both Northern and Southern hemispheres; how best to view the stars, nebulae, and galaxies; how to follow the planets on their annual trek among the constellations; how to map the sky; how to find a new comet; how to buy or even make a telescope; what to see in a month of lunar observations or a year of stellar observation; and much more. Beginners who have just joined an astronomy club or amateurs who wish to learn more about what can be accomplished with a small telescope will not find a better first book. |
