Book Description
This guide charts the positions of over 1,000 stars and celestial objects, arrayed in easy-to-read maps. It includes a detailed introduction to stargazing, with explanations of the celestial sphere, coordinates, time, star names and other basic concepts. The author catalogs a list of eclipses of the sun and moon through the year 2012, and also supplies a complete list of constellation names and symbols. Fourteen color maps show both polar and equatorial projections of the sky. With additional data on the location of variable stars, the brightest stars, and clusters, this book is worth taking on your next nighttime sojourn across the sky.
