Description
Filled with science and lore, with references to myths, legends, and "high" and popular culture, this "naked-eye" guide (no telescope required) demystifies the celestial in accessible, instructive, and entertaining prose. If you want to know why werewolves only come out at night or how to find Betelgeuse, if you are curious about twilight, the seasons and their causes, our solar system, light and darkness, weather, stars and latitude, the moon, light pollution, and the planets, this is the book for you. Illustrated throughout with photographs, sky charts, and diagrams, Night Has a Thousand Eyes is the perfect resource for amateur astronomers and meteorologists of all ages - city, suburban, and country folk alike - who pause to enjoy sunsets and identify constellations on a starry night.
