Book excerpt: An accessible, informative guide to identifying constellations and other incredible features of the sky, whether you’re hiking, camping, or stargazing from your backyard.

The tour is conducted by the editor of Astronomy magazine, Richard Berry, whose two-color, computer-plotted sky maps and clear instructions make stargazing fun and productive from your first night out. The heart of Discover the Stars is two sections of big, beautiful sky maps and charts. The first section features twelve maps that show the entire sky overhead as it appears during each month of the year. These outline all the constellations visible anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, and the accompanying text reveals the rich ancient mythology that surrounds the star groups. The second section is made up of twenty-three star charts that depict smaller regions of the sky in great detail. These charts give the names of key stars and lead you to fascinating features such as stars with unusual colors, double stars, variable stars, nebulae, and galaxies.

This book was released on 2024-05-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there credible reasons to believe many of the constellation and star names were given by inspiration of God? God’s Signature in the Stars explores these ancient star names and their meanings to reveal the answer. The Bible states that God named the stars: “He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name” (Isa 40:26). These starry hosts appear in the night sky as God’s “character actors,” performing their roles on his celestial stage. God is the creator, writer, and director of this heavenly drama and cosmic dance. “By day and by night,” his “starry hosts” are flickering above the footlights in God’s theater in the sky!
