Description

Written in a folksy, down-to-earth style, this user-friendly guide to the night sky is designed for beginner and intermediate stargazers ages twelve and up. It begins with chapters explaining the celebs, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies-and what readers can expect to look from their very own backyards with a modicum of kit. Dakota StarWatch then examines the main constellations, offering up to date tales of the mythology surrounding them and detailing their seasonal movement within the sky. Later chapters delve into the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, planets, and “celestial extras” such as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. The general chapter provides advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment. Appendices include per 30 days star maps for North and South Dakota’s northern latitude, a local resource guide, and a list in their brightest stars.
