About this title

Synopsis

There is no doubt that an eclipse--whether solar or lunar--is one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles that any of us will ever witness. Truly, an eclipse is a natural wonder of the universe; as darkness descends and birds become silent, virtually every living creature looks to the skies. What is an eclipse? The answer to that is the starting point of this fascinating introduction to total and partial eclipses of the sun and moon. Expert Ian Bruce explains how an eclipse takes place and what to expect; what people have believed about eclipses throughout history; the best ways to view an eclipse with and without special equipment; methods you can use to help children understand an eclipse and view it safely; and how you can record the event with a camera or camcorder. Complete with a pair of solar viewing glasses, Eclipse is an excellent introduction to the exciting world of amateur astronomy.
