Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-09 00:00:00 Ethan Cooke Not many people I know now know that I had a fascination with star gazing when I was little. I did, and I still keep this book today, even though it is old and worn. I don't even remember who gave it to me, but I love it. It is a good guide, and I refer to it from time to time, especially during the summer when there is really nothing to do. The images are easy enough for a child to understand, but full of enough information that you really do learn something about the night sky and planets. Even the inside covers have star charts. It is also a very user friendly book, containing an easy-to-navigate table of contents and index. It is full of a ton of information, and yes... my copy says that Pluto is a planet, so I will keep this for a long time. It's funny that I still have it.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-07 00:00:00 Jeffery Dyer Si tratta di una piacevole guida per l'osservazione del cielo notturno. La prima parte è prettamente dedicata a fornire al lettore un'infarinatura molto generale ed ampia dell'astronomia. Le illustrazioni, affiancate da brevi didascalie, facilitano molto la comprensione di temi complessi. Questo libro è sicuramente un ottimo aiuto anche per chi ama l'astrofotografia in quanto in esso sono contenute le illustrazioni del cielo estivo e invernale, fornendo utili riferimenti ai neofiti ma anche ai fotoamatori.
