Book Reviews of NSG Constellation Finder: Guide to Patterns in the Night Sky With Star Stories from Around the World
Book Review: Constellation Finder
Summary: 5 Stars
From simply finding the North Star, and the Big Dipper, to finding and understanding the Constellations, (and what their names mean in mythology) this little book will give you both seasonal and Lattitude correction, done simply.
This book is for all of us near the 40th Lattitude, (Europe, SW Asia, China, Japan, and the USA.) Best of all, this little book slips into your shirt pocket, so you have BOTH hands to carry your flashlight, and hold onto your child's, (or Gandchild's) hand, as you walk to your best 'Low Light Pollution' spot. It even helps you know how to protect your flashlight from causing your own light pollution!
Great for Home Schoolers, and Families that like to do things together, other than sitting in front of the 'Tube'!
Even GREAT, for those that like to lay out on the lawn, all alone, and watch the heaven's in awe of our Grand Creator, Jehovah!
