Do you sometimes wonder why the sky at dusk is filled with color, or how the moon controls the tides? Why do stars twinkle and planets don't? Interested in refining your star-gazing techniques? You don't need any special equipment to marvel at the beauty of the universe, and Night Has a Thousand Eyes will place the cosmic within your grasp.

If you want to know why werewolves only come out at night, are curious about twilight, the seasons and their causes, our solar system, light and darkness, weather, stars and latitude, the moon, light pollution, and the planets, this is the book for you. Filled with science and lore, with references to myths, legends, and "high" and popular culture, this "naked-eye" guide -- no telescope required -- demystifies the celestial in accessible, instructive, and entertaining prose. Night Has a Thousand Eyes is the perfect resource for amateur astronomers and meteorologists of all ages -- city, suburban, and country folk alike -- who pause to enjoy sunsets and identify constellations on a starry night. Illustrated throughout with photographs, sky charts, and diagrams.
