SUMMARY
From our viewing platform on Earth, the night sky changes throughout the year. Autumn and spring are best for observing galaxies, winter is ideal for sighting nebulae and star clusters, and summer is the season of the Milky Way. A Year in the Life of the Universe, published in collaboration with Sky & Telescope magazine, takes us on an intimate seasonal tour of these ever-changing heavens. Stellar photographs by renowned astrophotographer Robert Gendler help us identify more than 120 deep-sky objects that stand out by virtue of their beauty, visual impact, and scientific interest. Presenting the celestial objects in the order in which they appear through the seasons, this is not only a beautiful photo book. It is also a practical, hands-on guidebook for astronomy buffs at all levels, with coordinates, detailed captions, and wide-field sky charts to help stargazers young and old navigate the night sky.Gendler, Robert is the author of 'Year in the Life of the Universe A Seasonal Guide to Viewing the Cosmos' with ISBN 9780760326428 and ISBN 0760326428.
