Observers no longer need to wonder what they will turn their attention to each night of the
year with this updated text of a beloved favorite from Sir Partick Moore. His night-by-night
account of the stars is the best possible guide an observer could ask for and now includes the
latest data for the years 2015-2020 preserving and extending Sir Patrick Moore's legacy. This
new edition of his classic text makes it easy to see why Sir Patrick Moore was such a helpful
guide to generations of budding astronomers professional and amateur alike. For every night of
the year Patrick gives the reader details of interesting objects that can be seen from Earth.
It is a book for people with a wide interest in practical astronomy those who may not have
specialized in a specific area of astronomy and wish to expand their knowledge in all areas.
Moore updated his book in a second edition in 2005 giving astronomical events through 2010
but a more current version has been desperately lacking. This third edition includes Sir
Patrick's original text but revises its time-sensitive material and adds all of the points of
interest that change from year to year such as eclipses occultations planetary positions
and so on. Sir Patrick Moore left behind an enormous legacy including the world's
longest-running television series with the same original presenter the BBC's The Sky at Night
and more than 70 written works. His influence on the world of amateur astronomy was phenomenal
and his knowledge and passion led many to take up observing as a life-long hobby. This book
The Observer's Year 366 Nights of the Universe was he said one of his personal favorites. It
now features a tribute to Patrick Moore's legacy as well as including what has changed in
astronomy since the previous edition ten years ago.
