Completely revised with all-new photographs and covering
astronomical events through 2019
The second edition of the "Peterson First Guide to Astronomy
"provides an up-to-date introduction to astronomy for beginners,
featuring all-new photographs of recent events -- such as one taken
from the "MESSENGER" spacecraft, which launched in 2004 and entered
its orbit around Mercury in 2011 -- and predictions for future
events through 2019, including meteor showers, comets, and
eclipses. The book encourages readers to go out into the field,
using the maps that show the positions of the stars throughout the
year as a guide. This new edition maintains the easy-to-use
condensed format of the original, and makes it easy to proceed to
the full-fledged "Peterson Field Guide to Stars and Planets "for
more in-depth information.
