The Times night sky 1999 - Michael J Hendrie

Compiled and edited by The Times Astronomy Correspondent, Michael Hendrie, this is a concise and simple guide to seeing the stars, Moon and planets with the naked eye. The essential month by month guide to the Night Sky in 1999.

Twelve monthly charts show the night sky objects above the horizon late in the evening, whilst notes opposite each chart describe the visibility of the planets and the phases of the moon.

The book also has a summary of recent and forthcoming developments in space, as well as important events in the astronomical calendar, including the solar eclipse which will be visible in Cornwall in August 1999.

This is the ideal companion for all keen astronomers.
