Synopsis

Assuming no previous knowledge, this diagram-packed book guides the reader through the basics of observing the sun, moon, planets, and other bodies such as comets

 

For readers who would like to take a real interest in astronomy, but do not know where to start, this guide ensures that any new stargazer will recognize what they are seeing in the night sky. Complete with star charts, it maps out the skies, and explains what can be seen with the naked eye and inexpensive equipment. Written by the world's most popular astronomer, it includes photographs from his private collection.
