I've always wondered about the sky, the starts, the planets, and the universe. I think it's one of the things every child wonders about. Zodiacs were a big thing in my childhood, and I loved learning about it. However, As I grew older, my interest went towards different things, and my interest towards the universe had faded.
Recently, I've been getting many chances to read books, and one of the categories I had to read from was "in-depth study" books. I looked through the library, looking for books of my interest, and found an astronomy area. I got flashbacks from when i was young, and took this book.
Reading this book reminded me of the pure heart and thoughts I had. (I still do, just saying).

A good reference book to have on hand for star gazers. Not really a book that you would read cover to cover, but very handy for quick lookups regarding constellations and related information. Buy it if you own a telescope.

Again, a nicely designed guide, quite appealing to the eye. But featuring some rather dubious remarks in the text...
