Exploring Night Sky Book

Our award-winning introduction to observational astronomy. *From the creator of what I consider to be the best planisphere available comes Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars, a companion to that star dial. Taken together, the two items, plus a pair of binoculars, constitute the best introduction to observational astronomy you could ask for.* Astronomy Magazine. Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars was written to be a companion handbook for The Night Sky, serving as a general introduction to observational astronomy. It covers both what can be seen in the sky and the significance of what is seen. Although it was not written explicitly for children, it won honorable mention in the New York Academy of Sciences Children's Science Book Awards (older children's division). Don Davis, one of the leading space artists, illustrates it with specially commissioned artwork today. If you prefer to order by telephone or by fax, click here for more information.
