Have you ever wanted to explore the night sky but didn't know how to get started? Discovering the universe can be a daunting hobby when you first begin. Finding out what you need and how you go about observing the cosmos is not immediately obvious. But through a career spanning 40 years as a science communicator, Rod Somerville takes you on a journey that bridges the gap between being a complete novice to that of a keen amateur. Offering inspiration, insight, and information in easy to understand language, he makes the universe accessible to everyone. Along the way you will discover: everything you need to know about telescopes to get started, what to do if you see a UFO, why the stars and planets move the way they do in our sky, how and what you can easily observe in the solar system, and why we can make constellations from the stars. If you ever find yourself looking at the stars and wanting to discover more about the universe, then this full colour version of the best selling book is the one for you.
