The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series

von

This book introduces and explains to the reader a variety of rare astronomical sights and sounds, as well as where to go to have a good chance of seeing and hearing them for themselves. The universe contains many unusual and wonderful sights and sounds, some quite unique – with of course, a greatly reduced proportion of astronomers ever even witnessing them. Therefore, for most, the unusual occurrences remain the basis for discussion but little else. With the right tools, and at the right time and location, some of the often-talked-about-but seldom-seen gems in our universe can finally be enjoyed. Jonathan Powell gives the practical observer the best chance of fulfilling an extraordinary bucket list with his new book.
