Book Reviews of The Stars
Book Review: very good book
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this book for my 13 year old daughter (for her birthday). I read through the book before giving it to her and found it very difficult to part with. Buy this book for anyone of any age, who shows an interest in the night sky, and they will not be disappointed.
Summary of The Stars
Containing star charts, a guide to the constellations, and details about seasons and the movement of the objects we see in the sky, this classic book makes H. A. Rey's passion for astronomy evident on every page.
Second edition updates concentrate on the planetary and solar system information in the latter half of the book. Facts and figures for each planet have been revised, and new scientific information has been added, including sections on earth-asteroid collisions, black holes, supernovas, the Kuiper Belt (asteroid belt beyond Neptune), Pluto's reclassification, and how the moon was formed.
