Stargazing – A Card Deck

From award-winning writer Professor Nigel Henbest comes an exquisite gift for anyone who enjoys exploring the night sky. From the twelve constellations in the zodiac family or asterisms such as the Big Dipper and the Great Square of Pegasus, to the lesser-known formations of the Chameleon or the Sculptor, the night sky holds stories and legends that have fascinated humans for thousands of years. Star Gazing is a deck of 40 illustrated constellation cards to help you spot the stars in the sky. The backs of the cards offer information on the origins and myths associated with each constellation, guide you on how to locate each one in the sky (and the best time of year to spot them), as well as key features to look out for. Informative and practical yet beautifully presented, this deck brings the stars to life and allows you to explore the science and the history of the night sky through the constellations. The 50 cards are presented in a foiled box and are accompanied by a booklet that introduces the stars, the universe and astronomy.
