Constellation - In the pocket

Navigating the night sky, i.e., finding and recognising individual constellations, can sometimes prove to be a difficult task – especially for casual observers – particularly as the appearance of the night sky constantly changes throughout the night and during the different seasons. However, the effort eventually pays off, because once you know your way around the night sky, you can not only distinguish the individual constellations but also immediately identify various unusual objects – such as a planet slowly wandering through the constellations of the zodiac, or a satellite rapidly moving forwards – as well as other celestial phenomena like meteors, aurorae, or even a lunar eclipse. In this book, you will find the most important information about astronomy, get star maps for each month, and profiles of the individual constellations visible in Central Europe.
