  An enthusiastic and motivational guide for all young astronomers. Astronomy is awe-inspiring. You can see billions of kilometres into space, look back in time - maybe even witness the dawn of the Universe. Read this book to find out how!

  
  
  

  A practical introduction to astronomy. It explains all the basics, from the planets of our own solar system to the mysteries of deep space. The emphasis is on what to look for and how to find it, with or without binoculars or telescope. Starcharts are included.
