Complete description

Covering the whole spectrum of earth-centred astronomy, this guide to basic sky lore and naked eye observation of the night sky, shows what can be seen with the unaided eye. It leads the reader from the stars as seen from Earth, through the sun, moon, planets to the Copernican revolution, comets and meteors. The text includes mythological and historical aspects of the subject, as well as numerous exercises for the student and an account of the sky in the southern hemisphere. The last chapter contains a collection of poetry about the stars from ancient India to modern times. There are also appendices dealing with future astronomical events, technical data, materials and publications. Top page
