The Sky at Night: The Art of Stargazing: My Essential Guide to Navigating the Night Sky Reviews

  • Siân

    A perfect introduction to our night sky for those unfamiliar, and a great reference book and source for the seasoned stargazer. Each constellation has fascinating information relating to it, and I love the mythology sections. I will certainly be bringing this with me on my travels!

  • Esme Sinclair

    This book is fascinating! I loved reading it and will definitely be using it as a reference guide in the future. Can’t wait to start doing some stargazing 💫

  • Pip Jones

    I liked the mythology sections for each constellation, some of the constellations were a bit boring (microscope, triangle etc) but it was easy to understand for someone who is new to star gazing!

  • Dan Driver

    A lovely little catalogue of the constellations not just giving the deep space objects located within, but also delving into the history and mythology of all individual constellations.
