Discover the wonders of the Universe with this complete
introduction to observing and understanding the night sky. This
practical guide explains and demystifies stargazing, teaching you
to recognize different kinds of objects and showing you how they
move through the sky over the course of the night and the year. It
shows you how to understand and enjoy the cosmos, building your
practical astronomy skills from the basics to more advanced
techniques. Beginning with an explanation of the Universe itself -
how big is it, what shape is it, how old is it, and will it end? -
it then takes you on a tour around the night sky, building up your
knowledge in simple stages. Practical advice begins with naked-eye
observations, then illustrated step-by-step instructions show you
how to set up and use binoculars and telescopes, and how to take
your own pictures of the night sky. It also lets you take a closer
look at the different objects you can view in the night sky,
telling you how to train your eye to recognize basic patterns of
stars (constellations) and how to tell planets apart from other
celestial bodies, showing you how to observe them in an innovative
step-by-step way. An atlas of the night sky is also included, with
charts that can be used in both the northern and southern
hemispheres throughout the year. Accessible, inspirational, and
authoritative, Stargazing for Beginners will enthuse and inform
anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the night sky.
