PRINCETON University Press SEARCH: Keywords Author Title More Options Power Search Search Hints E-MAIL NOTICES NEW IN PRINT E-BOOKS ... HOME PAGE Stars and Planets Ian Ridpath Illustrated by Wil Tirion Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Sample Pages In this new edition of their classic guide, Ian Ridpath and Wil Tirion bring the night sky down to earth with brand new sky charts, diagrams, and photos that enrich the clear, engaging text. Stars and Planets will delight both latent astronomers who have yet to touch a telescope and the more star-savvy who have spent many a night outside craning their necks behind a lens. The introduction presents the basics of astronomical observation while answering such questions as: How did constellations come to be? Do the stars within them have anything to do with one another? Do stars really flicker? Next comes the book's centerpiece: an excellent series of maps of the night sky from hemisphere to hemisphere, month to month and, above all, charts showing all 88 constellations, including some 5,000 stars. The text vividly relates the human history behind each constellation and notes their most prominent stars while offering sundry stimulating facts. The second section focuses on the astrophysics behind stars, galaxies, the sun, the planets, comets and meteors, and more. Striking full-color photos, maps, and illustrations appear on almost every page. The guide concludes with helpful tips on the optical tools of the trade and on astrophotography. Astrophysicists and amateur skywatchers agree that

Description Continue past Arcturus on the curve from the Dipper's handle ("Arc to Arcturus, then speed on to Spica"). To "Speed on to Spica," go the same distance as it took to reach Arcturus. If it's not below the horizon, Spica is the brightest star of the constellation Virgo the Maiden. Although Virgo is the second largest constellation in the sky, the rest of its stars are faint. Yet don't be surprised if you often see a bright visiting planet nearby. Virgo was long ago recognized for its importance, since it contains the Sun on the day of the Autumn Equinox. Spica lies nearly on the path the Sun follows across the sky, which is called the ecliptic. You won't see this constellation in the early autumn, for then Virgo lies in the daytime sky.

Doors to the galaxies Sidereal Astrology speeks about real sky and the stars and galaxies that exit in the cosmos. We leran much about our place in the galaxy, the Milkyway. We know, that our solar system is in one of the arms of that galaxy. When we look to the constellation of Taurus and Gemini, we look in a direction, that will lead us out of the galaxy in the wide open space. The center of the galaxy When we see at the sky scorpio and sagittari, we know that in this direction we could "fly" to the center of the Milkyway, the famous black hole or whatever exists there. Here is the inner point of the galaxy and old astrologers said, that this cosmical direction has many relations with the inner forces of man: the sexual power. Skycharts generated by Bisque, THESKY
