Description

Written in a folksy, down-to-earth style, this user-friendly guide to the night sky is designed for amateur and intermediate stargazers ages twelve and up. It begins with chapters explaining the celebrities, nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies—and what readers can expect to peer from their very own backyards with a modicum of apparatus. Utah StarWatch then examines the key constellations, offering up to date tales of the mythology surrounding them and detailing their seasonal movements 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 overall chapter provides advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment. Appendices include per thirty days star maps for Utah’s northern latitude, a local resource guide, and a list of Utah’s brightest stars.
