More about the book
Astronomy is a fascinating hobby suitable for anyone. One does not need to be mathematically gifted to make scientifically valuable observations. This hobby can also be started without any observational equipment; there are objects that can be observed with the naked eye. The book guides readers into the world of astronomy. The first part introduces how to start the hobby, observational tools, star charts, and other practical aspects, while the second part covers visible phenomena in the night sky, from the Earth's atmosphere to distant galaxies. The text is clear and does not require any special prior knowledge from the reader.
