I heartily recommend this text. -- Neil English, <i>Astronomy Now</i> magazine <p/>A user-friendly companion for stargazers of all ages, this classic beginner's guide describes all the main sights of the night sky. The newly updated book contains a chapter for each month, describing prominent stars, constellations, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. Readers will discover when to watch meteor showers, when eclipses will occur, and how to follow the movements of the four brightest planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn).<br>Most of the sights are visible to the naked eye, and all can be seen with binoculars or a small telescope.
