About this product

Product Information

Constellations is a guide to the night sky that focuses on these 88 distinctive patterns, revealing their often intriguing storiesa their origins, mythology, present-day significance, and the multitude of wondrous objects they contain. Complete with over 300 of the best astromical images ever captured, a comprehensive introduction to the stars and other celestial phemena, and a series of newly commissioned, state-of-the-art maps showing the stars that are visible from populated latitudes in both hemispheres throughout the year, this magnificent guide has all you need to kw to become an expert stargazer. Step outside on a clear night, and the number of stars in the night sky can be overwhelming. Take a pair of biculars or a small telescope with you, and a celestial vista of star clusters and clouds, kts of gas and dust, nearby planets and distant galaxies is revealed. Since ancient times, stargazers have made sense of the night sky by grouping its stars into constellationsa star patterns that often have symbolic or mythological meanings.
