Patrick Moore’s Practical Astronomy Series THE OBSERVER’S YEAR SECOND EDITION There are 365 nights in every year (366 in a leap year!) and from an amateur astronomer’s point of view, no two are alike. And that is why Sir Patrick Moore – the world’s most widely known and respected TV broadcaster and writer on astronomy – has produced this unique book to highlight special objects of interest on each and every night of the year. Using easy-to-follow star maps, he talks about the science and history of stars, double stars, galaxies, nebulae, the Moon, planets, constellations and even asteroids. This second edition has been fully updated for astronomical events through until the year 2010. What they said about the first edition NEW SCIENTIST "...beautifully written and bubbles with enthusiasm." ASTRONOMY & SPACE "Well, Patrick Moore has done it again. What an excellent book this is." .

Ci sono 365 notti in un anno (366 se bisestile) e per l’astrofilo non ce ne sono mai due uguali. Il cielo ogni notte propone un suo show che ha per protagonisti migliaia di oggetti come stelle, costellazioni, pianeti, nebulose, da riconoscere uno ad uno, da ammirare e studiare. Sir Patrick Moore – celeberrimo conduttore televisivo inglese, astrofilo e divulgatore noto in tutto il mondo – ha scritto questo libro per suggerire all’amante del cielo quali oggetti di particolare interesse possono essere osservati in ciascuna diversa notte dell’anno. Vengono proposte mappe stellari di facile interpretazione, mentre il testo tratta di fisica, delle stelle e della loro storia, di sistemi binari, galassie, della Luna e dei pianeti: di tutto ciò che la volta celeste offre all’astrofilo curioso. Cosa hanno detto della prima edizione NEW SCIENTIST "…ben scritto e pieno di entusiasmo." ASTRONOMY & SPACE "Patrick Moore si è ripetuto. Che libro eccellente è questo.".

For more than 50 years now Sir Patrick Moore has presented the BBC Television series Sky at Night; not a month has been missed – a record for any television series, and a record which may never be broken. Every three years or so a book is published covering the main events in both astronomy and space research. This is the 13th volume, not only a record of the programmes but also of the great advances and discoveries during the period covered - eclipses, comets, and the strange chemical lakes of Titan, for instance, but also anniversaries such as the fifteenth “birthday” of the Hubble Space Telescope, and not forgetting the programme celebrating the Sky at Night’s 50th year, attended by astronaut Piers Sellars and many others who appeared on the programme over the years. All the chapters are self-contained, and fully illustrated. In this new Sky at Night book you will find much to entertain you. It will appeal to amateurs and professionals alike.
