About this audiobook
Have you ever gone outside at night to admire the stars? And wonder what they all are, and what stories they have to tell? Esteemed professor and astronomer James B. Kaler guides the listener through the sights of the naked eye sky, wherein we directly witness the effects of the turning and revolving of the Earth, the artistry painted by the human mind using the sky and stars, and how the view changes with time and with our place on the planet.
