Présentation de l'éditeur
It is not intended as a text-book to teach astronomy; it has rather been written with the hope that the reader may be drawn by it to study astronomy for himself. The old story tells us that King Alfred was first stirred up to a desire to learn to read by his mother showing him the pictures in a beautifully illuminated book. And so it has been our desire to point our readers to some of the pictures presented to us by the heavens, in the hope that they may desire to spell out their meaning for themselves. For the heavens are telling stories of interest, stories of wonder, if we but have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey of discovery through the night sky, revealing the stories told by the celestial bodies ââ â the Sun, Moon, and stars. The author, drawing inspiration from the ancient practice of astronomy, invites us to observe the heavens with the same curiosity and wonder that our ancestors did before the invention of the telescope. The book explores the ways in which these celestial bodies, through their apparent movements and phases, can reveal much about our world, its shape, and its place in the universe. We learn about the sun's daily path across the sky, how its movements reveal our latitude, and its journey across the seasons. We are introduced to the moon's phases and how they reflect the relationship between the moon, the sun, and the earth. Finally, the book delves into the constellations, urging us to appreciate the beauty and meaning embedded in the star-filled night sky. Through this exploration of the cosmos, the author invites us to contemplate the awe-inspiring vastness of the universe, reminding us that even without advanced technology, the simple act of observing the night sky can reveal profound truths about ourselves and our place in the world.
