Karen Hedges: Stargazing For All, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Your app can tell you the name of what you can see in the night sky, but wouldn't you like to know exactly what it is that you are looking at? You may hear on the news that there is a meteor shower, or a particular planet visible, would you know where to look... or how?

This friendly guide to space is suitable for those both new to astronomy and for amateur astronomers whose memories may need refreshing from time to time. Astronomy is a vast subject that can be intimidating to comprehend, but this book provides a gentle way into this fascinating subject. In the book, Karen begins with some of the first stars to appear in the evening to get you started. The good thing is, no prior knowledge or specialist equipment is needed for you to enjoy the points of light in the nighttime darkness!

Stargazing for All is for readers who wish to know more about the stars and planets that they see in an accessible way. Topics include why a star is blue, the meaning of magnitude, and who or what was Pogson. The book is also suitable for leaders of astronomy clubs, and for those introducing astronomy as a particular topic in schools or to the public.
