This book is a down-to-earth guide to the stars, planets, and other heavenly phenomenon, and is perfect for the backyard stargazer or the astronomy enthusiast. The book provides a thorough overview of all the common wonders in the night sky, such as phases of the moon, eclipses, shooting stars, and more rare occurrences like binary stars. It also gives you a detailed tour of the universe, detailing how far away Earth is from the sun, what the closest stars are, and where Earth is in relation to the Milky Way.

The book outlines the types of astronomy equipment available, explaining how telescopes work (from homemade devices to the Hubble Scape Telescope) and discussing how to select the right one for you. Included is a full colour 16-page insert featuring photographs of stars, planets and other astrological phenomenon.
