This is the third edition by Sir Patrick Moore, one of the great presenters of astronomy in our time. It tells the epic story of the historical development of astronomy which caused a revolutionary change in human outlook, in its impact upon both scientific thinking and religious belief.

Drawing on the author's knowledge and direct experience of the key events in astronomy and space exploration, this book takes a sideways look at the historical reports and contemporary thought behind a range of astronomical topics. It includes a collection of essays that cover various things from the case of vanishing planets to UFOs over Selsey.

Filled with data about the Earth, Moon, the planets, the stars, our Galaxy, and the myriad galaxies in deep space, this title reveals the scientific discoveries about black holes, quasars, and origins of the Universe. It also includes maps supported by tables of the names, positions, magnitudes, and spectra of the main stars in each constellation.

Patrick Moore's painstakingly researched book will help and encourage both casual and serious observers of our awe-inspiring universe. Sections on basic astronomy, selection of binoculars, detailed constellation maps and descriptions of stars, comets and galaxies are included in this beautifully illustrated manual.

This 2000 Edition of Sir Patrick Moore's classic book has been completely revised in the light of changes in technology. Packs a great deal of valuable information into appendices which make up almost half the book. This is probably the only book in which all this information is collected in one place.
