"This well-known reference guide that includes maps to the stars and constellations you'll see in the sky on any given night. It includes illustrations, as well as historical facts."- New York Magazine

"Mesmerizing."
- Sierra

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect for a Beginner
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022

We wanted a beginner book for an aspiring backyard astronomer - info on things you can see with your naked eye with no telescope needed. It's almost perfect. I'm focusing on the constellations in my review since that was my main interest, but it also has sections for the moon and planets.

Pros: This book shows constellations, connects the dots so you can see what they represent, gives a short blurb about the history/mythology, and talks a bit about the stars that make up the constellation. It's a great balance between the science and the history and nice illustrations.

Cons: The only con is that it can be difficult to find the constellations in the sky since this book doesn't give reference points on how to find them. I'm a complete novice so using this book alone can be kind of frustrating trying to locate the constellation I'm reading about. I'm using it in conjunction with Star Finder!: A Step-by-Step Guide to the Night Sky which is good at showing where constellations are in relation to each other (often using the big dipper as a reference point since it's so easy to find). That book is lacking in the history and illustrations that this one excels in, so together they're a good team.

The book is well worth getting. It is a great improvement from the original version. I find it very useful for learning constellations. (for example, if you know where the big dipper is, it will show the constellations surrounding it.

It is great for beginners and intermediate users.

I would recommend it for personal learning and as a great gift.

I am an intermediate user with telescopes ranging from 3" to 20" objectives. (20" is huge). I provide a lot of public outreach and have had over 10,000 look through my scopes.
