The definitive stargazer's bible: a simple and unshowy guide to everything you can expect to see in the skies in the coming year.

Updated every year, there is an authoritative section of star charts showing you where and when to look, a month-by-month guide to planets, eclipses, comets, meteors, nebulae and phases of the moon, plus a series of articles on recent developments in astronomy and space exploration - including the Huygen's probe's successful landing on Titan and the 'Biology of Space'. Indispensable for those who care about what's out there.
