A field guide to the stars and planets Book

The fourth edition of this field guide has been completely revised and updated to include the latest information from NASA, the European Space Agency, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Sky & Telescope magazine, and other sources. All time-sensitive material is new and valid through 2010: solar eclipses, phases of the moon, positions of the planets, and more. Monthly Sky Maps, all newly revised in color, show exactly what you'll see when facing either north or south in the night sky. Atlas Charts, also revised and in color, together cover the entire sky, including close-ups of areas of special interest such as the Pleiades and the Orion Nebula.
