Description

Winner of the 2020 Simon Newcomb award for excellence in science communication, John A. Read covers everything needed to identify constellations, planets, stars, galaxies, nebulae and more. Inquisitive stargazers will find planet hunting and star hopping easy with clearly plotted routes and images of the sky both as seen by the naked eye and detailed views from a telescope. Many fascinating cosmic objects can be easily spotted with the help of this book including beautiful Cassiopeia, regal Leo, the plentiful Kemble's Cascade, the explosive Crab Nebula — even the rings of Saturn! This easy to read, fully illustrated reference book will enrich every young person's experience of the skies above. For those living south of the equator, a Southern Hemisphere edition of this book will be available in early 2021. Read more

  • Excellent, perfect companion for a first telescope
Wow, I'm amazed by this book. My young daughter got a 130mm Newtonian reflector telescope for Xmas and given we've never had a telescope before, we've been feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed with the amount of information found on astronomy websites and forums. This book was our savior: it's simple and objective, with the essential information for a beginner to perform their first steps stargazing. The perfect companion for our first telescope. The book is well illustrated and sets the expectations right for what one can see with a small telescope under different sky conditions in the northern hemisphere. It also contains a chapter about gear essentials. In summary: If you've just bought or are about to buy your first telescope to explore the sky with kids, I can't recommend this book enough. ... show more

  • The book that sparked a new hobby
I purchased this book over a year ago (along with 50 Things to see on the Moon by the same author) when some unforeseen circumstances sidelined me from being outdoors doing the things I loved.... the ease of use of this book and the way the author explains what to look for really made approaching Astronomy (an otherwise intimidating subject for me) quite enjoyable! This book single handedly led to a new hobby which my husband and I have become immersed in and are still enjoying (and have purchased (and highly recommended) this and the supplemental books to many of our friends who have expressed an interest in beginning Astronomy! ... show more

  • Great book for a new star watcher!
This book has vivid photos of what to look for in the night sky. It gives simple and concise instructions on how to use your telescope to the best advantage. Good price for a great book!
