Observing the Heavens

Jay Ryan has published a new volume of Celestial Almanack and it is beautiful.  Have you ever looked at the stars and wondered what you were seeing?  I can sometimes find a couple of constellations; but, typically I don't know where to look (or if I am looking at the right thing).  Celestial Almanack, available through CurrClick, is a fascinating day-by-day guide to the goings on in the heavens.  We have been able to use this second volume for purposes of review and have been greatly impresses.  I wish the cloud cover would be a bit more cooperative at night so we could actually see more!  Celestial Almanack is a monthly publication, published by Classical Astronomy.  It highlights lunar events, solar events, and other seasonal events with the stars.  This book is written in an old world type font making it appear to be an ancient almanack.  It is really fun to look at and full of more information than one could possibly digest each day.  We are looking forward to learning more about our universe as the month of February progresses.
     Celestial Almanack is available as a downloadable product for $3.00 at Currclick. Quite a bargain for the amount of astronomical information included!  You would be hard pressed to find more current information in any astronomy textbook.  To read about what other TOS Homeschool Crew reviewers have to say about Celestial Almanack, check out the main crew blog.
