Have you ever wanted to explore the night sky but didn't know how to get started? Discovering the universe can be a daunting hobby when you first begin. Finding out what you need and how you go about observing the cosmos is not immediately obvious. Through a career spanning 45 years as a science communicator, Rod Somerville takes you on a journey that bridges the gap between being a complete novice to that of a keen amateur astronomer. Offering inspiration, insight, and information in easy to understand language, he makes the universe accessible to everyone. Along the way you will discover answers to almost every question a budding astronomer might ask - and more. Parents will value this book as a resource, enabling them to answer all those pesky questions from children, or grandchildren, wanting to acquire a telescope or binoculars for Christmas. And what do you do if you see a UFO? With many thoughts not found in any other astronomy book, it is a must read before immediately jumping to an extra-terrestrial conclusion. If you ever find yourself looking at the stars and wanting to discover more about the universe, then this is the book for you.
