Your Passport to the Universe
The night sky is alive with many wonders--distant planets, vast
star clusters, glowing nebulae, and expansive galaxies, all waiting
to be explored. Let respected astronomy writer Philip Harrington
introduce you to the universe in Star Watch, a complete beginner's
guide to locating, observing, and understanding these celestial
objects. You'll start by identifying the surface features of the
Moon, the banded cloud tops of Jupiter, the stunning rings of
Saturn, and other members of our solar system. Then you'll venture
out beyond our solar system, where you'll learn tips and tricks for
finding outstanding deep-sky objects from stars to galaxies,
including the entire Messier catalog--a primary goal of every
serious beginner.
Star Watch features a detailed physical description of each target,
including size, distance, and structure, as well as concise
directions for locating the objects, handy finder charts, hints on
the best times to view each object, and descriptions of what you'll
really see through a small telescope or binoculars and with the
naked eye.
Star Watch will transport you to the farthest depths of space--and
return you as a well-traveled, experienced stargazer.
