5.0 out of 5 stars This book, 4 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a wonderful book! Berman has an amazing ability to condense the science down to a memorable analogy or description and really make you feel a sense of wonder about the sky! I was getting burned out on amateur astronomy until I read this book several years ago - "Secrets of the Night Sky" reminded me about the sense of awe I used to feel just going out and looking at the sky.

In addition, this book can be a big help for someone trying to introduce astronomy to others (i.e. at a public star party.) Rather than dry facts and figures, why not explain the origin of Betelgeuse's name, or how it is the largest physical object you can see?? Or describe to people what the favorite color of the universe is??

A wonderful book! If you love astronomy or just need a cloudy-night book, "Secrets of the Night Sky" won't disappoint you!!
