Find the constellation

On clear nights, countless stars shine in the sky. The Plough is easy to find, but which stars actually belong to the constellation of Leo, and where is the constellation of Scorpius hiding? In the part of the book containing star maps, we describe the path to the 25 most beautiful and most conspicuous constellations on individual double-page spreads. Depending on the season in which a particular constellation is best observed, its name is always shown in a green, yellow, orange, or blue box. These colours correspond to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. However, you don't have to start stargazing in the spring; just by flicking through the book, you can immediately see which constellations are most visible in the current season.
The book includes extra-large and clear star maps with easy-to-understand instructions.
Exciting myths and legends about the mysteries of the night sky.
What you should know about the planets, with many tips for observing them.
