An accessible, informative guide to identifying constellations and other incredible features of the sky, whether you’re hiking, camping, or stargazing from your backyard. Discover the Stars leads you on a tour of all the stars and constellations visible with the naked eye and introduces you to deep-sky objects that can be seen with binoculars or a simple telescope. The tour is conducted by the editor of Astronomy magazine, Richard Berry, whose two-color, computer-plotted sky maps and clear instructions make stargazing fun and productive from your first night out. The heart of Discover the Stars is two sections of big, beautiful sky maps and charts. The first section features twelve maps that show the entire sky overhead as it appears during each month of the year. These outline all the constellations visible anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, and the accompanying text reveals the rich ancient mythology that surrounds the star groups. The second section is made up of twenty-three star charts that depict smaller regions of the sky in great detail. These charts give the names of key stars and lead you to fascinating features such as stars with unusual colors, double stars, variable stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Separate chapters cover basics, such as how the stars move through the sky, how to find your way around the moon and the planets, making an astronomer's flashlight, and choosing and using a telescope—all in terms that are easy to grasp and remember. Discover the Stars is the perfect introduction to the heavens, simple enough to be useful if you're just starting out but packed with enough information to keep you learning and enjoying the stars for years to come.

This fascinating narrative recounts the history of astronomy and, with more than 100 full-color illustrations, it shows readers how to find the planets and constellations in the night sky. In ancient times, people thought that the Sun, Moon, and stars were gods. They recorded their movements and imagined that the stars made pictures in the sky. The Greeks and the Romans related these "pictures" of animals and men--or constellations--to their legends. They also identified planets and named them for their gods--Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter. Their observations marked the first step in the development of astronomy, which today is a sophisticated science. Modern astronomers have followed the tradition of naming heavenly bodies after ancient gods. For instance, the solar system's outer planets weren't identified until after the telescope's invention, but with their discoveries they were named after Uranus, a Greek god of the sky . . . Neptune, the Roman god of the sea . . . and Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld. The author recounts the legends connected with many constellations, including Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Orion, and others. This beautifully illustrated book helps readers navigate their way around the night sky as they learn the significance of heavenly bodies' names. Color photos and illustrations throughout.

Are you ready to impress your friends & family with amazing knowledge & exciting tales of the constellations?! If so, keep reading… Have you ever looked up at the night sky & imagined what might be out there? You’re not alone! People have been wondering that for thousands of years. Technology like telescopes & space shuttles are quite new, so before we could really investigate space, people would make up stories about what they thought was up there. Some people saw heroes & monsters made out of stars & would tell stories about them. This book is going to tell you all about the wonderful things floating around above your head & teach you how to find some of the planets & special stars from your bedroom window. (It’s exploding with fun pictures to help you visualize them, too.) It’s also packed with legendary tales about the constellations, like how the constellation of Hercules shows him wrestling the monster Hydra or how Pegasus–a magical flying horse with wings–was the only animal that could carry Zeus’s lightning bolts without getting hurt! Discovering constellations doesn’t have to be difficult, even if you don’t own a telescope. You can even find them by using your hands! Try this HANDY (pun fully intended) tip to help you find the stars: Straighten your arm out in front of you & make your hand into a fist. The distance from your first knuckle (don’t count the thumb) to your fourth knuckle is 10 degrees. Now spread out only your thumb & pinkie finger. The distance from tip to tip is 25 degrees. (If you hold up just your pinkie finger by itself, the width of it is 1 degree.) This will help you navigate the night sky to find the constellations in this book! Did You Know: There are some stars you can see from Canada that will never be seen from Australia! Or that Jupiter, the largest planet, has 80 moons! Or that one day on Venus lasts as long as 6,000 hours! (That means 1 day of school would last over 8 months!) You’ll discover: Why the ancient Romans are responsible for our galaxy being named after a chocolate bar! Why your parents might be receiving messages from space when traveling! The incredible trick to see how far apart objects in space are just by using your own hand! The amazing star that the dinosaurs would have been able to see millions of years ago Why sticking a pencil through an orange can help you visualize how the earth spins Incredible tales behind the constellations that your friends at school won’t believe! How to master the constellations for any season! The planet that’s not home to aliens—but robots! What the Ancient Egyptians designed their pyramids to point to Why you should get your camera ready for the year 2061 Why the moon’s gravity could be a surfer’s best friend! The best time to see incredible events in the sky! How to see a meteor shower every minute Which fruit to shine a flashlight on to help you visualize moon phases An in-depth glossary so you can quickly understand the cool words inside & much more! From the giant Virgo to the much smaller Corona Borealis, you will discover all the tips & tricks to finding the constellations, as well as some amazing facts that will make you sound like a professional astronomer. There are so many things in space to explore that not even scientists know exactly what is out there. Who knows what they (or you!) will discover in the future? So, if you want to master the night skies & discover amazing knowledge & tales that will leave your friends scratching their heads, scroll up & click Add to Cart.
