Explore the wonder of the eighty-eight constellations in our universe in this beautifully illustrated guide.
Across human cultures and history, we have looked up to the heavens and discovered the stars, from the well-known Aries and Orion to the lesser-known Volans and Triangulum. Each cluster of stars has its own story, both mythic and scientific.
With A Guide to the Night Sky, learn practical tips on how to view the skies (with and without telescopes), then put them into action to start your stargazing journey. Read about the First stargazers and how they have been interpreting the constellations for thousands of years. Take a crash course in the galaxy and learn about deep-sky objects of all varieties. Then settle in to discover the eighty-eight officially recognised constellations and learn about their lore, size, location and all about their brightest stars.
