Detailed visuals help you find the top 58 constellations of the Northern Hemisphere.
In these inviting pages, author Andrew Fazekas—The Night Sky Guy—shares knowledge and offers advice that will delight amateur astronomers of all levels. Maps, photographs, and infographics at every turn of the page make this an entertaining and fact-packed read about planets and stars, astronomical phenomena and our universe.
Essential information, organized logically, highlights features of the night sky visible from your own backyard. Start with the easiest constellations and then "star-hop" across the night sky to find others.
Fazekas offers hands-on techniques for observing with the naked eye, with binoculars, or through a small telescope, revealing the wonders of planets and astronomical events such as eclipses and meteor showers.
A total of 66 authoritative maps show constellations, season by season, accompanied by interesting facts about the myths they represent and noteworthy stars they contain. Photographs and graphics go beyond what's visible to explain phenomena such as black holes, solar flares, and supernovas.
For all who look up with wonder at the starry sky, this indispensable guide illuminates the greatest nighttime show on Earth!
