This guide is for the budding astronomy enthusiast who wants to learn about the night sky. You are not ready to buy a telescope or join an astronomy club, and you have some basic questions but don't want to be overwhelmed by math and physics. You are ready to take the first step, but how do you begin? This is the guide for you. Think of me as your next-door neighbor, backyard astronomer, and together we are watching the sun set and the stars come out on a crisp October evening.
The Naked-Eye Sky describes astronomical objects and explains daily, monthly, and yearly phenomena. You will learn why the Earth has seasons and the Moon goes through phases. You will meet some constellations, a few stars, and even a galaxy -- all of which you can see without a telescope or pair of binoculars. In fact, there are no pictures in this book taken with a telescope -- you only need your eyes to see the sights!
