Half-Hours with the Stars

Learning about the stars and constellations can be really easy if the person knows exactly how to work. Usually, people interested in astronomy don’t work on the right way. They use ordinary star-maps and then, they are lost, not knowing how to use them. Those maps don’t show anything about the position of the constellations on the sky. The proper maps should show the exact position of the constellations, their names, the names of the stars that are part of the constellations and the names of the neighbor constellations.

What learners really need is a set of maps that are specially constructed to show in which part of the sky which constellations can be found. The best map is the one that shows the entire sky, which will enable learners to learn without being confused or searching through different maps.

In this book, you will find twelve maps, the position of the principal star groups in the night sky as seen from the United States, throughout the whole year and explanation of each map provided.
