You can pick this up, browse through the stars, and learn a lot about chemistry, astrophysics, stellar evolution, spectroscopy, and the nature of the universe. For me, it fills a gap in the books usually used and subjects usually addressed by amateur astronomers. ( ) This is an excellent "biography" of the 100 greatest stars (in the authors opinion). Each entry describes the location of the star (constellation), other names for the star, class, visual magnitude, absolute magnitude, and significance. There is then a page summary describing the star in more detail and why it is among the 100 greatest stars. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
