The Internet contains so much information and data for astronomers that just finding what you want is a daunting task, and downloading can take hours of computer and telephone time.

This book tells the story of astronomy from its birth to the present day, through the people who made the great discoveries. Some fifty men stand out as responsible for the most important discoveries, the "giant steps" mankind had to take on the road to the stars.

Rock legend and experienced amateur astronomer Brian May joins the legendary expert Sir Patrick Moore and astrophysicist Chris Lintott to tell the story of the Universe from the moment time and space came into existence at the Big Bang, through to the infinite future and the fate that awaits us.

This guide provides useful insight for first-time telescope buyers as well as experienced amateurs. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of different types of telescopes, mountings, and accessories-ranging from refractors and reflectors to computer controlled drives and CCD cameras. The author also covers observation techniques, photographic equipment, astronomical software, as well as equipment care and maintenance.

On a clear night, the vastness and beauty of the star-filled sky is awe inspiring. In Stargazing: Astronomy without a Telescope Patrick Moore, Britain's best known astronomer, tells you all you need to know about the universe visible to the naked eye. With the aid of charts and illustrations, he explains how to "read" the stars, to know which constellations lie overhead, their trajectory throughout the seasons, and the legends ascribed to them. In a month-by-month guide he describes using detailed star maps of the night skies of both the northern and southern hemispheres. He also takes a look at the planets, the Sun and the Moon and their eclipses, comets, meteors, as well as aurorae and other celestial phenomena--all in accessible scientific detail. This captivating book shows how, even with just the naked eye, astronomy can be a fascinating and rewarding hobby--for life.

Philip's Guide to Stars and Planets provides all the information you need to study the night sky with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. It includes a detailed Moon map and a complete atlas of the constellations, and is suitable for observers in both the northern and southern hemispheres. A straightforward and comprehensive handbook, it opens with chapters on the Moon, the Sun, the planets, the stars and galaxies, as well as information on astrophotography, telescopes and an explanation of the apparent movement of the night sky. The second section of the book comprises a full set of constellation maps, showing all stars visible to the naked eye as well as the brighter nebulae and galaxies. Each map is accompanied by a description of that particular constellation, pointing the observer to the most interesting stars and deep-sky objects in that area of the sky. Tables give the co-ordinates, magnitudes and distances of the brightest stars in each constellation. The book concludes with a comprehensive glossary, and timelines of astronomy and space exploration. Philip's Guide to Stars and Planets is a dependable, accurate and attractive reference source for all amateur astronomers.

An astronomy book for the young and curious. Patrick Moore takes his reader on a journey through the planets, explaining the facts with great clarity and enthusiam.

This book contains everything an astronomer needs to know about binocular observing. The book takes an in-depth look at the instruments themselves. It has sections on evaluating and buying binoculars and binocular telescopes, their care, mounting, and accessories. In addition there is a selection of fifty fine objects to be seen with 50mm and 100mm binoculars. The advantages of using both eyes for astronomical observing are many and considerable, largely because of the way the human brain processes visual information. This book enables the astronomer to maximize those advantages.

Book by Moore, Patrick

An illustrated tour through the solar system as a place to be explored, not merely encountered in a library. "I welcome this book by David Hardy and my old friend Patrick Moore, because it provides a heady mixture of education, entertainment—and inspiration. We need the latter, now that the excitement of the Apollo program has ebbed, and so many voices are asking 'Why go to the planets?' David Hardy's poetically luminous paintings are a reminder that the Moon is not the goal, but merely the beginning, of real space exploration." —Arthur C. Clarke (from the Foreword)

Atlas of the Universe is the ultimate reference to the stars, planets and celestial objects using the most comprehensive information available. The book features the latest images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Telescope, Mars Express, the Cassini spacecraft and 2004 Huygens probe of Saturn and Titan. The stunning images are explained with clear and detailed text. The full color book illustrates and explains the nature of every category of celestial object in a clear and concise manner.

Explains basic concepts of astronomy from aberration to zenith, and identifies important astronomers, stars, and celestial objects

Ako vznikol vesmír? Ako sa vyvíja a ako sa jedného dňa skončí - ak sa skončí? Rockový hudobník a astrofyzik Brian May, legendárny predseda Britskej astronomickej spoločnosti a autor desiatok kníh o vesmíre sir Patrick Moore a astrofyzici Chris Lintott a Hannah Wakefordová rozprávajú príbeh vesmíru od zrodu priestoru a času pri udalosti nazývanej big bang až po nepredstaviteľne vzdialenú budúcnosť. Aktualizované a rozšírené vydanie knihy Bang!, bestselleru o histórii vesmíru zahŕňa najnovšie poznatky o vývoji hviezd a galaxií, nové objavy planetárnych sústav a tajomné koncepty temnej hmoty a energie. Text sprevádzajú úchvatné fotografie z najväčších pozemských aj vesmírnych teleskopov. Všetko nasvedčuje tomu, že vďaka rozvoju nových technológií stojí astronómia na prahu ďalšej revolúcie. Je teda vhodný čas na bilancovanie toho, čo o vesmíre vieme (a nevieme).

Už od chlapeckých let, která strávil na farmě v anglickém Somersetu experimentováním s krystalkami a hvězdářskými dalekohledy, okouzlovala Arthura C. Clarka věda. Její fakta i fikce. Tato kniha - jeho první životopis - čerpá ze stovek rozhovorů s ním samotným, s jeho přáteli i s osobnostmi tak rozdílnými, jako jsou Walter Cronkite a Carl Sagan, a mapuje Clarkovy mimořádné úspěchy na poli vědy i fantastiky. Životní odysea představuje jedinečnou životní kroniku člověka, jehož dílo - včetně průkopnické spolupráce se Stanleym Kubrickem na filmu 2001: Vesmírná odysea - získalo všechna nejvyšší ocenění v žánru vědecké fantastiky a jehož vizionářský přínos vědě vynesl svému původci přezdívku „kmotr spojových družic".
