Description
Astronomy as a hobby is gaining widespread interest among the general population. Planetariums in every city are drawing record crowds and 'astronomy trips' to view the northern lights or an eclipse are the hot new holiday packages. This book opens up stargazing for anyone interested in the night sky from as close as their own backyard. Knowing how to look at the sky and what to look for is a challenge. Backyard Stargazing provides readers with the information and instruction they need to enjoy astronomy without having to invest in their own observatory. Astronomy as a hobby is nothing new, but with today's 'back to nature' hobbies on the upswing, this book is just what those who look to the heavens are searching for.
