Description

A portable guidebook for enjoying the night sky in 2022.

2022 Night Sky Almanac is the ideal resource for both novice and experienced sky watchers in the United States and Canada, with all of the advice, information and data that enthusiasts need to understand and enjoy the wonders of the night sky.

This in-depth guide first introduces readers to the objects in the sky -- from stars, to comets, to globular clusters -- and then takes them through the cosmic events to look out for each month in 2022, with sky maps, moon phase charts and info about the planets. The book also features:

  • Methods for using your hands to measure angles in the sky
  • Information about binoculars and telescopes
  • A glossary of terms
  • A list of helpful resources
  • And much, much more!
  • 2022 Night Sky Almanac is both a comprehensive introduction to astronomy and a quick reference book for more experienced sky watchers who don't want to miss a thing. Its compact size means it's perfect for taking on an "astro-vacation" or simply sky viewing in the backyard.

    Reviews

    The book is written for both novice and advanced sky watchers, and sailors who watch the sky for telltale signs of pending storms. This book will make you look up and enjoy what you see in the night sky, even if it's not to get you home safely like in decades past.-- "Sailor Magazine" (1/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
