Opis

This book will interest anyone who marvels at the night sky and would like to learn to recognise constellations and identify the brightest stars by name. Renowned amateur astronomer, Guilherme de Almeida, dispels the myth that specialist knowledge and elaborate instruments are a prerequisite for all astronomical observation. His book emphasizes the point that getting to know the night sky with the naked eye is an essential platform from which to start any astronomical observation. Step-by-step, the reader is guided through the knowledge needed to recognise key constellations, identify stars and planets, and interpret changes in the overall appearance of the sky throughout the year. The text is enhanced by the use of maps and illustrations, making this practical guide an invaluable text for all but the most advanced amateur astronomers. TOC:Introduction.- The Constellations.- The Stars.- The Celestial Sphere.- Identifying the Constellations and the Brightest Stars.- The Sky Seen from the Southern Hemisphere.- The Milky Way.- Celestial Chart.- The Sky and the Four Seasons of the Year.- Appendix 1.
