A richly illustrated guide to the myths; histories; and science of the celestial bodies of our solar system; with stories and information about constellations; planets; comets; the northern lights; and more. Combining art; mythology; and science; What We See in the Stars gives readers a tour of the night sky through more than 100 magical pieces of original art; all accompanied by text that weaves related legends and lore with scientific facts. This beautifully packaged book covers the night skys most brilliant features--such as the constellations; the moon; the bright stars; and the visible planets--as well as less familiar celestial phenomena like the outer planets; nebulae; and deep space. Adults seeking to recapture the magic of youthful stargazing; younger readers interested in learning about natural history and outer space; and those who appreciate beautiful; hand-painted art will all delight in this charming book.
