Experts Commentary
From the Publisher
Explore the heavens! Chock-full of glorious photographs, easy-to-read charts and detailed maps—there's an image or two on virtually every spread-this celestial guidebook answers every beginner's questions. Start with the most famous constellations and you'll soon find it simple to identify other star groupings. See how to calculate when each constellation will appear in your area, and get visual cues that aid in recognizing the planets. The dazzling pictorial section points out and defines the nature of all the deep space objects, and you can search through star, constellation, and orientation maps. Breathtaking and deeply informative. 224 pages (all in color), 6 7/8 X 8 1/2.
