Summary

"If you've ever wondered about the mysteries of deep space, or you're simply awed by the wonders of the cosmos, The Night Sky will introduce the basic concepts of when and how to observe space, through to current theories on everything from black holes to red giants. The cosmos has a visceral hold over us. And whether you're a science fiction fan or not, everyone has an opinion on alien life. Do they look like us? Can they voyage across interstellar space in UFOs? Accessible, informative, with a guide on how to spot the constellations and what they look like, this is a valuable, practical companion for anyone who loves stargazing" -- Page 4 of cover
