50 Things to See in the Sky
Explained with fascinating, easy-to-understand commentary from astrophysicist and science communicator, Sarah Barker, and illustrated throughout with captivating drawings by Maria Nilsson, each guide helps you locate an incredible sight. The book is divided into three main sections – and whether you use the naked eye, a telescope, or fall into a black hole of online research, you’ll discover the limitless wonder of the skies. Naked Eye: Learn how navigators travelled in the past by finding the North Star; say hello to our astronauts and learn how to spot the International Space Station. Further Afield: Find out more about the next closest galaxy, Andromeda; spot an alien storm that’s as big as the Earth. Far, Far Away: Learn how baby stars are created by the Pillars of Creation; marvel at the Hubble Deep Field. The book also includes advice on ideal conditions for observing the stars, telescopes and binoculars, and navigating the skies.
