Make Stargazing More Fun Than Ever!

Stargazing is among the most peaceful and inspiring outdoor activities. Night Sky, the award-winning book by Jonathan Poppele, makes it even better! Take a simple approach to finding 64 constellations by focusing on one constellation at a time, instead of attempting to study dizzying charts. Start with the easy-to-find constellations during each season and work toward the more difficult ones. Better yet, you’ll learn how to locate any constellation in relation to the Big Dipper, the North Star, and the top of the sky. With multiple ways to locate each constellation, you’ll know where in the sky to look and what to look for! Along the way, you’ll be introduced to mythology, facts, and tidbits, as well as details about the planets, solar system, and more. This revised and expanded edition includes new photographs, new discoveries, and more constellations, including a section that introduces the 44 constellations of the Southern Hemisphere.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Richard F. ★★★★★

The spiral binding lies flat on my lap while I'm out on the deck, which makes flipping between charts effortless even with cold fingers. The glow-in-the-dark cover is a nice touch for finding it in the dark.

Natalie ★★★★★

The constellation charts are laid out so clearly that I actually found Orion within minutes of stepping outside. The book’s compact size fits perfectly in my jacket pocket, and the descriptions make each star pattern feel like a story rather than a list.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I finally feel confident identifying more than just the Big Dipper, thanks to how clearly each constellation map highlights the key stars. The book’s compact size makes it easy to slip into my jacket pocket for late-night walks.
