A constellation-by-constellation guide to the night sky

Jonathan Poppele’s field guide organizes stargazing around finding 64 constellations, beginning with those described as easier to locate in each season before moving to more difficult ones. It explains how to use familiar reference points—the Big Dipper, the North Star, and the top of the sky—and offers multiple ways to locate each constellation. Alongside practical sky-finding information, the book includes mythology and brief facts, with additional material on planets and the solar system. The revised and expanded edition adds photographs and a section introducing the 44 constellations of the Southern Hemisphere.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adults learning to identify constellations outdoors.
  • For stargazers who prefer guidance organized around individual constellations and seasonal visibility.
  • For readers interested in constellation mythology alongside practical sky observation.
