Description
This "Collins Wildlife Trust Guide" is illustrated with photographs that can be used to identify what you can see in the night sky. Every constellation is comprehensively illustrated with specially chosen photographs and artwork, so that no matter what part of the night sky you are looking at there should be a photograph and diagram to help. The text also covers details needed to confirm the identification, plus information on the specific constellation. There is also a section on the Solar System, with details on all the planets and a guide to astronomical events such as the eclipse of the sun in 1999. These guides are published in association with the Wildlife Trusts, who have over 250,000 members in the UK.
