Maintaining its appealing style and presentation, the Yearbook of
Astronomy 2021 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. In the 2021 edition the
reader is presented with articles covering a wide range of topics
including Male Family Mentors for Women in Astronomy; Henrietta
Swan Leavitt and Her Work; Solar Observing; Obsolete
Constellations; Lunar Volcanism; Pages From the Past: Collecting
Vintage Astronomy Books; M?ori Astronomy in Aotearoa-New Zealand
and others. In addition to the above is the first in a series of
articles entitled Mission to Mars: Countdown to Building a Brave
New World scheduled to appear in the Yearbook of Astronomy
throughout the 2020s. These articles will keep the reader fully up
to date with the ongoing investigations, research and preparations
that are already underway, as well as those in the planning phase,
all of which are geared towards sending a manned mission to Mars at
or around the end of the decade. We are at the start of what
promises to be an exciting journey. 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
bookshelves of all stargazers and watchers of the Universe.
