Planisphere and Starfinder is a practical guide to finding your way
around the night sky. It demystifies astronomy and introduces basic
stargazing techniques, enabling you to find and recognize objects
with ease. A section on the Solar System shows you how to observe
the Moon, planets, and other bodies such as comets and asteroids.
It also gives advice on looking at eclipses and meteor showers. The
central section of the book is a detailed guide to the
constellations. Each entry in the guide is illustrated with a clear
star chart, supported by graphics that show where in the world the
constellation can be seen and explain the symbolic meaning of its
star pattern. The key features for observation are presented in an
accessible list supported by advice on how best to observe them.
The final section is a month-by-month guide to the night sky. A
double-page spread for each month highlights the features on view,
while a large-scale chart shows you where to find the planets and a
table of special events lists the dates of Moon phases, eclipses,
and the best times to see the planets. The book comes with a
removable planisphere, showing you the entire sky above your head
at any time of night and any time of year.
