EDITORIAL INFORMATION On a clear night, the vastness and beauty of the star-filled sky is awe-inspiring. In this book, Patrick Moore, Britain's best known astronomer, will tell you all you need to know about the universe visible to the naked eye. With the aid of charts and illustrations he explains how to "read" the stars, to know which constellations lie overhead, their trajectory throughout the seasons, and the legends ascribed to them. In a month by month guide he describes, using detailed star maps, the night skies of both the northern and southern hemispheres. He also takes a look at the planets, the Sun and the Moon and their eclipses, comets and meteors, as well as aurorae and other celestial phenomena - all in accesible scientific detail. Astronomy is for everyone, and even with just the naked eye, it can become a fascinating and rewarding hobby for life. (Extracted from the back cover). GENERAL TABLE OF CONTENTS
