Book Reviews of National Audubon Society First Field Guide: Night Sky (Audubon Guides)
Book Review: A Good First Book on Astronomy
Summary: 5 Stars
My son received a telescope for Christmas, and I purchased this book as a companion. It is loaded with information about the sun, moon, planets, nebulas, comets, meteors, auroras, eclipses, and constellations. The part I liked best was the very detailed information about the constellations and when the best viewing times for them are. There are many brilliant color photographs and lots of interesting and helpful text.
The section called "Finding Things in the Sky" gives the user useful tips on how to locate such things as planets, stars, and constellations. Tips on using azimuth, rising stars, and locating Polaris are included to help the viewer locate many interesting objects in the night sky.
I highly recommend this fine book. The text and pictures are extremely helpful, and it is written for young users to understand. Nurture your young astronomer's interest by purchasing this fine book. You'll be finding all kinds of different objects in the night sky in no time.
