Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-04 00:00:00 Gabriel Rosado I stumbled upon this in a thrift shop on vacation a few years ago and this quickly became my favorite resource to bring for stargazing, both when either using a telescope or the naked eye. I carry this around for the skymaps, mythology, figuring out names of moon craters, and for visualizing the objects that I am looking at with the slates. Previously, I always had a laptop open with Stellarium which was cumbersome and made it impossible to get the eyes dark adapted. This book helps me actually learn more about the sky and seasons to become more self-reliant, instead of just searching for the object I want to in Stellarium and looking there. Highly recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-18 00:00:00 Suhair Humeid This is an excellent resource, full of great information and facts. The only problem is that it is outdated on information about the number of planet satellites and the current status of Pluto as a planet. This is with the December 2014 printing, so it should have been updated by now.
