Antonín Rükl Libri

Please due to the low cost of this item, I cannot offer shipping outside the USA (it is cost prohibitive). NOT Ex-Lib - nice copy! Very slight shelf wear. No tears, pen marks, wrinkled pages, etc. Some errors in book corrected by me with very light pencil marks, which are helpful for a reader, not detracting from the book (very easily erased if desired). Dust jacket also in VG cond. Thank you for your purchase! -Jason

This superbly illustrated encyclopedia provides both a practical introduction to astronomy and a detailed guide to observing the night sky. All the illustrations are a combination of detailed studies of numerous photographs taken at different times by different telescopes and space probes. This ensures that they show all the known visible features of the planet, moon or constellation illustrated. The main section of the book consists of illustrations and maps of the planets and moons of the Solar System as well as the sun. This is followed by star charts and detailed plates of all the major constellations. A glossary of astronomical terms, a reading list and a complete index is provided at the end of the book

Instructions for simple observations with the naked eye, binoculars, and telescopes accompany information on the earth, the stars, the structure of the solar system, and the nature of the planets
