    A comprehensive and uniquely non-mathematical guide to spherical astronomy and the changing night sky.

  • Book Description

    The Ever-Changing Sky provides a comprehensive and uniquely non-mathematical guide to spherical astronomy. In a clear and lucid text, the reader is guided through terrestrial and celestial co-ordinate systems, time measurement and celestial navigation, on to the stars and constellations (with useful star maps provided), the motions and appearance of the Moon and planets, tides and eclipses, and the smaller bodies of the Solar System (asteroids, meteors, meteorites and comets). There is also a brief overview of atmospheric phenomena. This text will be invaluable to students taking courses in naked-eye astronomy, amateur and professional astronomers, and more general readers wanting to know how the night sky changes.
