Synopsis
This is the book no stargazer should be without. Recognized by both amateurs and professionals as the indispensable guide to the night sky, Patrick Moore's Yearbook of Astronomy is accessible, comprehensive and one of the only astronomical reference books that is fully revised every year.
The 2005 edition is bursting with authoritative, jargon-free data featuring enlarged star charts and the brand new 'Year at a glance', along with detailed monthly notes that plot a clear path through the year's eclipses, comets, meteors, nebulae and phases of the Moon. Exclusively commissioned to complement this guide is a selection of articles from some of the world's leading astronomers. These are designed for those who want to deepen their knowledge in specific areas and, gathered here for the first time, they complete an unrivalled collection of facts, figures and topical information essential to anyone fascinated by the sky at night.
