Description

In the book CONSTELLATIONS, award-winning astronomy author Govert Schilling takes us on an unprecedented visual tour of the 88 constellations of our night sky. Beyond being a simple guide for star watchers, CONSTELLATIONS is a comprehensive history of astronomy, narrated by Schilling through the lens of each constellation. The book is organized alphabetically by constellation. The profiles of each constellation include essential information such as size, visibility, and the number of stars, as well as information concerning the discovery and naming of the constellation and the associated lore. Additionally, information is provided for every astronomical event that occurred or discovery made in the area of the constellation. In the constellation Cygnus, we encounter the location of the first confirmed black hole. A stop in Gemini offers a chance to say hello to the dwarf planet Pluto, while in Orion we find the location of the first recognized gamma-ray burst. Excellent star maps by renowned cartographer Wil Tirion show us the precise location of each constellation, the details of its structure, as well as its neighboring astronomical companions.
