Taking a day-by-day look at the sky over the course of the whole year, Tammy Plotner has assembled a digest to appeal to all amateur and practical astronomers, as well as "armchair" astronomers. In this book you'll find a wealth of information touching upon every aspect of your observations, including hwo to locate the object you're looking for, whether it's a meteor shower, a comet, a variable star, a crater on the Moon, or the remnants of a supernova. By the time the year is over, you'll be an expert on the skies-and ready to tackle yet another year of exciting projects!
