JOY OF STARWATCHING

by Biman Basu

The star-filled sky has fascinated mankind since prehistoric times. Ancient sky-watchers imagined shapes in the pattern of bright stars that gave rise to many myths and legends. Today we know about the true nature of stars and also about their mind-boggling distances from us. This profusely illustrated book familiarises us with the constellations and helps in identifying individual stars with the help of star maps and diagrams.

More like a fields on guide rather than a study book.
