Wholesale Night Sky: A Guide to Our Galaxy

This informative guide is an excellent introduction to the stars, constellations, and nebulae that make up the visible sky at night. Nearly two-thirds of Americans no longer live in a place where the Milky Way, our home galaxy, is visible after dark. This guide not only shows you when it is visible but also describes its major features and where to travel in order to see it. The guide contains three maps showing the evening sky four months apart, covering the entire year. Major stars and constellations are shown in each along with the position of the Milky Way. Information is given on how to spot these features during the night and any time of year.
