This would be a perfect gift for any amateur astronomer. It is set out well and easy to understand.

Covering phases of the moon, meteor showers, explaining constellations, the aligning of planets and so much more.

There are chapters detailing all the major events due to happen in 2022 month by month. It really is comprehensive and you will be sure to not miss a thing (unless there is too much cloud cover, obviously)!

There is quite a lot of detail with precise latitudes, which could look daunting at first, but I’m sure anyone who hasn’t used an Almanac before could soon get used to this.

Many thanks to netgalley and the publishers for an arc.

A 5 star read just for pure depth of content.

An excellent book! It guides the reader into the wonders of the night sky. Month by month, it sets out precisely the movements of the moon, planets and stars, as well as meteor showers and eclipses. It also shows both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Even if you don’t have the advantage of seeing both, it is still interesting to learn the differences in the night sky.

An excellent gift for the budding astronomer, but perhaps not suitable for someone who already has a good knowledge of the night sky.

Well one Christmas present is sorted! What a fascinating book. Will be buying this for hubby who had an interest in astronomy as a child, but also for me to share too! This book has something for everyone at every level of interest. It has details for both southern and northern hemispheres, details of what to look for in the night sky for each month, details of moon phases and various extra information each month. This book will really give us a new interest and enjoyment of a free resource - the sky! Just a brilliant book!
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me access to an ARC in return for an honest review.

This is a beautiful guide to help people enjoy the nightly and seasonal events occuring in the cosmos. From meteor showers to comets to eclipses, with guides for identifying constellations and bits of the history and mythology surrounding the heavens, this is both a lovely and useful book
