If you are interested in the night skies, The Sky Guide 2015 handbook is now available, covering the month-to-month movement of the planets with various deep-sky objects, as well as the sun and moon rising and setting times.
The book, in its 69th year of publication, covers various constellations visible from South Africa as well as a few star maps showing galaxies, nebulae and clusters as well as the upcoming year’s planetary movements, predicting eclipses, meteor showers and other events.
These annual guides are a great boon for anyone interested in astronomy. For those who want to take this more seriously, the guide also looks at popular binocular sizes and the choosing of a telescope, with appropriate guidelines.
It is an ideal Christmas present for novice, armchair or professional astronomers.
