Planisphere and Starfinder is your personal guide to exploring the night sky. It takes the mystery out of astronomy and introduces basic stargazing techniques, helping you to find and recognise objects easily.
Starting close to home in the Solar System, it shows you how to observe the Moon, planets, comets, and asteroids, as well as how to make the most of events like eclipses and meteor showers. Then, you’ll head for the stars with a guide to the constellations. Each entry is illustrated with a clear star chart, shows you where you can see the constellation in the world, and even explains its star pattern's symbolic meaning. The final section takes you on a month-by-month guide through the night sky so you never miss a thing.
The book also comes with a planisphere that you can remove and take anywhere, showing the entire sky above your head at any time of night and any time of year.
