This guide to astronomy includes a month-by-month guide to everything the star-gazer can see in the coming years, the planets, eclipses, comets, meteors, nebulae, phases of the moon, and star charts for both northern and southern hemispheres. The second part of the book presents essays such as Exceptional Asteroids by David Jewitt, Cataclysmic Variables by Charles Gordon-Graham, The Galactic Centre by David Allen and The Volcanoes of Venus by Peter Cattermole.
