An Illustrated Tour of the Night Sky

What We See in the Stars

Amanda Rocha

A richly illustrated guide to the myths, histories, and science of the celestial bodies of our solar system, with stories and information about constellations, planets, comets, the northern lights, and more.

Combining art, mythology, and science, What We See in the Stars is a tour of the night sky through more than 100 magical pieces of original art, all accompanied by text that weaves related legends and lore with scientific facts.
This beautifully illustrated book details the night sky's most brilliant bodies, covering constellations, the moon, and planets, as well as less familiar celestial phenomena like the outer planets, nebulae, and deep space. Even the most educated stargazers and scientists alike will surely learn something new when reading this book!

Overall, the information presented in this book is an excellent introduction to the constellations, planets, and other celestial bodies.

Oseid's book provides a general overview of the planets, meteors, asteroids and comets, and presents an educational approach to understanding the stars and space. Oseid explains the science behind celestial systems, including gravity, tides, orbits, and more, all in easy-to-understand language and accompanied by informing illustrations.

My favorite part is that the book breaks down the constellations, which are cataloged alphabetically, and provides artistic representations of the constellation, paired with an overlay of the stars to look for in the night sky.

The book is beautifully illustrated and extensively researched. This is a fantastic companion for anyone, of any age, wanting to learn more about the night sky or become more familiarized with identifying the constellations.
