Summary

"Scan the skies for 40 incredible signts with Telescopes for Kids. You'll learn how to choose a telescope, set it up, and use it to find the wonders of the Nothern Hemisphere--from the Big Dipper, to the Whirlpool Galaxy, to the planet Neptune. You'll even find out why, when you look at the night sky, you're actually looking back in time! Beautiful illustrations and photos of each object make them easier to find, and once you've learned to identify the major ones, you can use them as reference points to find others. Become more familiar with the cosmos as you discover at what time of year it's easiest to see different objects, the life cycle of a star, how galaxies are catalogued, and more!"--Back cover
