Features: The author, who has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Astronomical Society, has been trying for the past three decades to explain astronomy to people in a way that anyone can observe the stars and understand them. In this book, he proposes a simple and practical method for observing the night sky: how to watch sunrise and sunset, how to observe the rabbits on the moon, watch meteor showers, confirm the positions of constellations, and more. Through the methods he describes, even with the limitations of night lighting, you can gaze at the stars at any time and be delighted by what you see. Feel the joy of the heavens at every turn of the Earth.
