Back Cover:
The Grandeur of the Universe
Few sights in nature can compare with the splendor of a dazzling star-filled sky seen from deep in the country on a cool, clear summer night. Now, using this book, you can delve into the majesty of the starry night to explore the wonders of the universe -- our neighbor worlds, the planets, remote stare forming nebulas, glittering star clusters and more -- using nothing more sophisticated that standard binoculars.


summer Stargazing captures the grandeur of the universe, with down-to-Earth simplicity, it also shows you how to stargaze. Veteran astronomy writer Terence Dickinson draws on more that 35 years of teaching and viewing experience to guide you to the planets, stars and constellations.

All you need to get started are your binoculars, a reasonably dark night sky and this book.
