Maintaining its appealing style and presentation, the Yearbook of
Astronomy 2024 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
2024 edition include, among others, Recent Advances in Astronomy;
Recent Advances in Solar System Exploration; Riccardo Giacconi:
X-ray Astronomy Pioneer; Things Fall Apart - Chaos in the Solar
System; Communicating From the Edge of the Solar System; Astronomy
in Antarctica; Tracking Older Artificial Satellites; Inner Lives of
Dead Stars; and A Triumvirate of Telescope Makers - Thomas Cooke,
Howard Grubb and Alvan Clark. This iconic publication made its
first appearance way back in 1962, shortly after the dawning of the
Space Age. Now into its seventh decade of production, the Yearbook
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 to which it plays host.
The Yearbook of Astronomy is indeed an inspiration to amateur and
professional astronomers alike, and warrants a place on the
bookshelf of all stargazers and watchers of the skies.
