Description
Planisphere and Starfinder is your personal guide to exploring the night sky. This book takes the mystery out of astronomy, introducing basic stargazing techniques to help you find and recognise objects easily. You'll learn how to observe the Moon, planets, comets, and asteroids, as well as make the most of events like eclipses and meteor showers. The book then guides you through the constellations, with each entry illustrated with a clear star chart. You'll discover where to see the constellation in the world and learn about the symbolic meaning behind its star pattern. Finally, a month-by-month guide ensures you never miss a thing in the night sky. The book includes a removable planisphere, allowing you to take the entire sky above your head with you wherever you go.
