Really excellent book. The format is small and convenient ... for anything like carrying it around, but not so much for reading. The print is quite small. It has the best, most extensive section on constellations I've ever seen, covering all 88 constellations including the ones we denizens of the Northern Hemisphere have never heard of and will probably never see.

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.
