National Geographic Pocket Guide to the Night Sky of North America Catherine Herbert Howell 9781426217852 Books Reviews


  • Quick guide but very well edited, interesting and easy to explain kids and adults
  • Purchased to put in the pocket of the carrying case for the telescope. A nice, small-sized essential guide for telescope users.
  • Great pocket book on the night sky. Great pics and a must get for those interested in astronomy or whats up..
  • This book is great - it is most helpful identifying constellations as well as planets and other stellar objects.
  • Great beginner's overview for an amateur astronomer! It's comprehensive in its coverage of the sun, moon, galaxy and universe, planets, constellations, and other objects in the night sky - but short page-length entries made it easy to work through without being overwhelming. The diagrams and photos were visually appealing and very helpful for depicting what the text covered. I was disappointed in its strong evolutionary bias, especially in explanations about the age, breadth, and decay of the universe. But overall it was an interesting read and highly informative!
  • The excellent parts of this book are the sky maps (seasonal), the eclipse tables, and the photographs.

    It̢۪s a pretty picture book of celestial celebrities. Well written.
  • Bought as a gift, my nephew loved it. Great quality and price.
  • A concise "NIGHT SKY" pocket guide. Accurate information. Well made book . A great price !
