Product Description

If you didn't get your 2009 edition, buy now and save 50%! ! This famous atlas-sized book is the most attractive and widely used guide to what will happen in the sky throughout the year. It is a mixture of text with charts and spatial diagrams, and is a "several-level" book, offering the experienced astronomer copious information, and the beginner a ready way into familiarity with the planets and constellations. It is used in over 100 countries, by professional and amateur astronomers--telescope-owners, teachers, planetarium directors, star-lovers of all ages. Each of the 82 pages is 11x15 inches. As with all of Guy Ottewell's Astronomical Calendars, the cover artwork is unique. Created by Ottewell, the image celebrates the 400th year Galileo's telescope used to study the universe.

I have purchased the last two annual Astronomical Calendar's written by Guy Ottewell, and will continue to purchase this wonderful work complete with the monthly sky charts and a wealth of information for anyone interested in viewing the night skies. It is extremely well written with graphic illustrations showing relative sizes of all of the planets, a calendar for all of the annual meteor showers, comets, asteroids and many other bits and pieces of technical information about our universe. I look forward to receiving my 2010 calendar.
