About this title: An introduction to the pleasures of astronomy is presented in this book, through poetic essays about naked-eye observation. The author leads the reader on a tour of the night sky, stopping to discuss meteors, comets, eclipses, supernovas, planetary conjunctions, light pollution, and more. A great deal of factual information is brought to life through the author's personal anecdotes and reminiscences gathered over many years of writing for the amateur astronomy community. The book includes advice on how and where to observe the sky for the best results. There are also tables for easy reference.
