Ο κλασικός οδηγός για τον νυχτερινό ουρανό.

Ενημερωμένη με τις θέσεις των πλανητών και τις επικείμενες εκλείψεις μέχρι το τέλος του έτους 2017, η ένατη έκδοση (τέταρτη στα ελληνικά) του διάσημου οδηγού των Ian Ridpath και Wil Tirion τίθεται στην υπηρεσία των ερασιτεχνών αστρονόμων κάθε επιπέδου.

Αυτό το βιβλίο περιέχει ένα κεφάλαιο για κάθε μήνα, στο οποίο περιγράφονται οι αστέρες, οι αστερισμοί, τα αστρικά σμήνη, τα νεφελώματα και οι γαλαξίες που ξεχωρίζουν. Οι 50 ευανάγνωστοι και εύχρηστοι χάρτες αποτελούν μια βασική εισαγωγή στον ουρανό του βόρειου ημισφαιρίου. Όλα τα αντικείμενα που περιγράφονται είναι θεατά με ένα ζευγάρι κιάλια ή με ένα μικρό τηλεσκόπιο, ενώ τα περισσότερα από αυτά είναι θεατά και με γυμνό μάτι.

Epigraph
For not in vain we watch the constellations,
Their risings and their settings, not in vain
The fourfold seasons of the balanced year.

Teach me to know the paths of the stars in heaven,
The eclipses of the Sun and the Moon's travails

From The Georgics by Virgil, translated into English verse with an introduction and notes by L.P. Wilkinson (Penguin Classics, 1982), copyright L.P. Wilkinson, 1982
For not in vain we watch the constellations,
Their risings and their settings, not in vain
The fourfold seasons of the balanced year.

Teach me to know the paths of the stars in heaven.
The eclipses of the Sun and the Moon's travails.
