🌠 Discover the Universe, One Star at a Time!
Revel in the skies above with this handy stargazing guide, complete with constellation charts and expert tips for observing—and understanding—the wonders of the universe. Detailed visuals help you find the top 58 constellations of the Northern Hemisphere. In these inviting pages, author Andrew Fazekas—The Night Sky Guy—shares knowledge and offers advice that will delight amateur astronomers of all levels. Maps, photographs, and infographics at every turn of the page make this an entertaining and fact-packed read about planets and stars, astronomical phenomena and our universe. Essential information, organized logically, highlights features of the night sky visible from your own backyard. Start with the easiest constellations and then "star-hop" across the night sky to find others. Fazekas offers hands-on techniques for observing with the naked eye, with binoculars, or through a small telescope, revealing the wonders of planets and astronomical events such as eclipses and meteor showers. A total of 66 authoritative maps show constellations, season by season, accompanied by interesting facts about the myths they represent and noteworthy stars they contain. Photographs and graphics go beyond what's visible to explain phenomena such as black holes, solar flares, and supernovas. For all who look up with wonder at the starry sky, this indispensable guide illuminates the greatest nighttime show on Earth!

Very good, but not as expected.
It has a lot of information about space and the galaxy, but it has very minimal on stars. I would have liked for it to have more information on constellations, though it does have a short section on how to read maps of the sky, which might be useful in the future. Overall, if you’re looking for a book on stargazing, this is not the one for you. But if you want to learn about our planets, the galaxy, and more like that, this book would be a good one. The quality of the book itself is very nice. The pages are colored and have that waxy finish, so the colors are bright and will probably last a long time.

Excellent Book to learn more about the night sky - Just wish the font was little larger
Other than the font is a little small for me, I really enjoyed the content and layout of the book along with graphics and notes on basically every page. Well worth the money if you want to learn more about the night sky. However, larger font would have made it a larger book and not as easy to hold and read.

Great book
I bought this book as a gift for my husband. We have big sky here and wanted to be able to identify the stars. After a little research, this book had the best reviews. We have been having fun reading the book and applying it to the night sky.

Muy bueno
Si le buscamos lo malo pues creo que podrían hacer más grande el libro para usar un tipo de letra más grande. Letra muy pequeña. Pero el contenido que es lo que importa está sensacional, mucha información educativa, datos de interés. Es un buen compañero de viaje o de tiempo libre

Book on Astronomy with Microscopic print
Nice as any standard National Geographic product, but given the kind of content the size of the book and fonts could have been larger. Maps are too small to be legible. It could have been a very good book, but if reading is stressed the efficacy of the book is compromised.
