Maintaining its appealing style and presentation, the Yearbook of
Astronomy 2020 contains comprehensive jargon-free monthly sky notes
and an authoritative set of sky charts to enable backyard
astronomers and sky gazers everywhere to plan their viewing of the
year's eclipses, comets, meteor showers and minor planets as well
as detailing the phases of the Moon and visibility and locations of
the planets throughout the year. To supplement all this is a
variety of entertaining and informative articles, a feature for
which the Yearbook of Astronomy is known. Presenting the reader
with information on a wide range of topics, the articles for the
2020 edition include, among others, 200 Years of the Royal
Astronomical Society; The Naming of Stars; Astronomical Sketching;
Dark Matter and Galaxies; Eclipsing Binaries; The First Known Black
Hole; and A Perspective on the Aboriginal View of the World. The
Yearbook of Astronomy made its first appearance way back in 1962,
shortly after the dawning of the Space Age. Now well into its sixth
decade of production, the Yearbook is rapidly heading for its
Diamond Jubilee edition in 2022. It continues to be essential
reading for anyone lured and fascinated by the magic of astronomy
and who has a desire to extend their knowledge of the Universe and
the wonders it plays host to. The Yearbook of Astronomy is indeed
an inspiration to amateur and professional astronomers alike, and
warrants a place on the bookshelf of all sky watchers and
stargazers.
