Why do you need a stargazing book specific to Canada? Because the night sky looks different depending on where you're stargazing. Did you know, for example, that the night sky has 88 constellations, but we only see three-quarters of these in Canada?
That's why each of the 12 star maps (one for each month) is set for Canada's northern latitude! Take this book out in your backyard, flip to the correct star map, look up at the sky, and voila! There's a perfect map of your night sky!
With Canada StarWatch, you can:
* Enjoy the mythology behind the constellations, including Orion the Hunter, Cassiopeia the Queen, and Perseus the Hero.
* Locate the most prominent seasonal constellations with easy-to-use star maps designed for Canada's northern latitude.
* Learn about the moon, solar and lunar eclipses, and the planets, as well as comets, meteor showers, and aurora borealis. There's even a planet locator guide good through 2017!
* Gain firsthand advice on purchasing a telescope and other stargazing equipment, plus find listings of local astronomy resources.
