From the stars and planets to the many other marvels visible to the naked eye, this beautifully illustrated guide brings the night sky to life, revealing what these celestial wonders are, why they appear as they do, and what they can teach us about our place in the Universe. Accessible explanations connect the experience of simply looking up with the fascinating science behind the stellar backdrop, turning everyday curiosity into astronomical discovery.
Professor Raman Prinja, award-winning physicist, astronomer, and celebrated children’s author, guides young stargazers on their journey, while Jan Bielecki’s dazzling illustrations bring the wonders above us vividly to the page. With an introduction and endorsement by astronomer Dhara Patel of the Royal Observatory Greenwich, Wonders of the Night Sky offers an inspiring and accessible introduction to astronomy that can spark a lifetime of curiosity and discovery.
