From the Introduction. The ability to recognize the more brilliant stars and to locate the more conspicuous constellations or star groups, is both an interesting and a useful acquirement. The number of people who have a real interest in popular astronomy and a fair acquaintance with the stars and constellations is steadily increasing and they find real pleasure in their information. To the meteorologist who would make observations of the position of the streamers of the Aurora Borealis or locate the place of the appearance and disappearance of bright meteors, a knowledge of the stars and constellations is absolutely necessary. The best way to locate the position of an auroral streamer without the use of apparatus is to observe the stars between which and over which it extends. Similarly the point of appearance and disappearance of a meteor has been definitely determined if the nearest star in each case has been noted. If great exactness is desired, the angular distance and direction of the point in question from the nearest star may be estimated. Whenever an object is thus located by means of the stars, the exact time of observation and the place of observation (latitude, longitude, and elevation) must also be stated. From such observations made at two, preferably more, stations, the distance, height, and direction of an auroral display, and the distance, height, direction of motion, velocity of motion, and orbit in space of a meteor may be determined by computation. The purpose of the constellation tracings and the descriptive material here given, is to serve as a guide in taking the first steps in learning the stars and constellations and also to point the way to the acquisition of further information on the part of those who desire it. The method here followed and the material presented is essentially the same as that used in the course on Descriptive Astronomy in Williams College.

Did you know that stars are seasonal? That Orion is one of the brightest constellations? That a single day on Venus is longer than an entire year on Venus? Space has captivated mankind since the beginning of time. Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man to step on the moon and since then our knowledge of astronomy has continued to expand. With so many mysteries yet to be solved, science journalist Abigail Beall takes readers on an astonishing journey though the landscape of space. In The Art of Urban Astronomy, you will be guided through the seasons and learn about the brightest stars and constellations, the myths and legends of astronomy and how to identify star clusters and galaxies with just your eyes or a pair of binoculars. For urban dwellers wrapped up in the rush and bustle of the city, it can be calming and truly valuable to take the time simply to stop, look and reconnect with nature. Packed full of seasonal star charts, constellation charts and fascinating facts, this is the perfect guide for those who have looked up at the night sky and don't know where to begin. After reading this book, you'll never look up in the same way again.
