Written by one of the world's most famous astronomers, this comprehensive handbook contains colour star charts of all 88 constellations, plus new up-to-date location charts for the planets.

Introduces astronomy and amateur observing to help readers get an idea of what they are observing at the same time as how to observe.

Although transits of planets across the sun are rare, amateur astronomers can observe and record them. Divided into two sections, this text first tells the story of early scientific expeditions to observe transits, and then goes on to explain how to observe transits of all sorts.

An introductory guide to navigating your way around the night sky and identifying what you can see on any given night.

Features a range of articles by some of the world's top astronomers. This 2008 edition presents a collection of charts and astronomical data, and a month-by-month guide to events in the coming year: planets, eclipses, comets, meteors, nebulae, and phases of the moon.

The moon has confounded scientists for many years. Could it be that the moon has been artificially constructed? When all of the facts are reviewed, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is who built it?

Explains the basics of astronomy from coordinate systems to naming conventions. This book includes the solar system, explores the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and its rings and beyond.
