Description

Winner of the 2020 Simon Newcomb award for excellence in science communication, John A. Read covers everything needed to identify constellations, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and more. Inquisitive stargazers will find planet hunting and star hopping easy with clearly plotted routes and images of the sky both as seen by the naked eye and detailed views from a telescope. Many fascinating cosmic objects can be easily spotted with the help of this book including beautiful Cassiopeia, regal Leo, the plentiful Kemble's Cascade, the explosive Crab Nebula — even the rings of Saturn! This easy to read, fully illustrated reference book will enrich every young person's experience of the skies above. For those living south of the equator, a Southern Hemisphere edition of this book will be available in early 2021. Read more

Excellent, perfect companion for a first telescope
Format: Paperback
Wow, I'm amazed by this book. My young daughter got a 130mm Newtonian reflector telescope for Xmas and given we've never had a telescope before, we've been feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information found on astronomy websites and forums. This book was our savior: it's simple and objective, with the essential information for a beginner to perform their first steps stargazing. The perfect companion for our first telescope. The book is well illustrated and sets the expectations right for what one can see with a small telescope under different sky conditions in the northern hemisphere. It also contains a chapter about gear essentials. In summary: If you've just bought or are about to buy your first telescope to explore the sky with kids, I can't recommend this book enough. ... show more

This book single handedly led to a new hobby which my husband and I have become immersed in and are still enjoying (and have purchased (and highly recommended) this and the supplemental books to many of our friends who have expressed an interest in beginning Astronomy! ... show more
