The Stargazing Year

Résumé du livre

A quarter-century after giving up his first telescope, Charles Laird Calia lay down one evening on his front lawn with his two young daughters, looked up at the stars, and rediscovered a childhood passion. Part primer on the science and history of astronomical observation, part love poem to the night sky, this is an amateur astronomer's account of a year spent observing the cosmos in his New England back yard.Available only in Nonfiction 4.
