Following on from Skywatching, Spacewatching represents the next step for all those interested in astronomy: the components of the night sky and the techniques used to observe them are all examined in greater detail.
Examines recent developments in astronomy, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and space travel.
Provides details of observing equipment and techniques, including video cameras, computer programmes and spacewatching on the Internet.
Entire chapters are devoted to the Sun and Moon, and the planets in our Solar System.
Other components of the night sky are examined, including meteors, satellites, supernovae, clusters, nebulae and other deep-sky objects.
A Starhopping Guide gives views of constituent stars and other objects of interest within individual galaxies. Fact boxes provide additional information.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
