This useful handbook for budding astronomers, written by Alexander Shimbalev, contains information on various aspects of astronomy. It is an easy read, without too many technical details, and explains everything you need to know about telescopes and the cosmos in general.
The chapters follow on logically from one another and, thanks to the colourful illustrations (star charts and photographs of constellations, galaxies, nebulae, planets, etc.), this book is also suitable for children.
Contents of the book:
- From the very first chapters, you’ll learn about astronomy and celestial observations, and discover plenty about telescopes and their design, which will help you choose your next telescope.
- The final chapters provide detailed information on 280 objects in the celestial sphere, complete with observations, comments and images. The planets of the Solar System and their moons, deep-space nebulae and star clusters are all listed in the book, along with observation tips, guidance on navigation and advice on the best telescope to use.
- Once you have read this book, the night sky will no longer be a mystery and you will be able to navigate the vastness of the universe like an expert.
