Overview

From earliest times people have been intrigued by the night sky. Over the centuries they have developed ever-more-ingenious devices, from binoculars to powerful telescopes, to spacecraft powered by the Sun's rays. With these, they have explored everything we can see-from our Moon to the most hard-to-reach areas of space. Using specially devised star charts this book helps readers identify particular constellations, recognise the difference between a star and a planet, and understand why the entire sky appears to spin. They will discover how stars are born and die, what nebulae are, and how comets and asteroids are formed.
