Fully illustrated throughout in colour and black and white, Fireside Astronomy will make a worthy companion for the enthusiast on many a clear or cloudy night. It includes the most recent developments, discoveries and missions - from the Hubble Space Telescope to the Halley's Comet fly-by!.
Where is the Sea of Serenity? When is a star not a star? How should you greet an alien? The answers to these questions and many more can be found inside. Sometimes bizarre, always entertaining, Fireside Astronomy will both enlighten and inspire.
Celebrated astronomer and television presenter Patrick Moore leads you through the realms of astronomy and space in his own unique style. With more than one-hundred informative and entertaining essays, the anecdotal nature of each one makes this book easy to dip into at random.
