When can I see a rainbow? Why is the moon sometimes visible in daylight? In Out of the Blue skywatcher John Naylor offers practical advice about where and when you can expect to see natural phenomena, what you will see and how to improve your chances of seeing it. He takes in both the night and the day sky, and deals only with what can be seen with the naked eye. Drawing on science, history, literature and mythology, and written in a popular style that assumes only basic scientific know-how, Out of the Blue is for everyone who enjoys being outdoors and who feels curious or puzzled about things optical and astronomical.Meteorological opticsObservers' manualsAstronomyObservers' manualsMeteorological opticsAstronomy551.56/5Naylor John C(John Caldicott),1945-1598180MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825428703321Out of the blue3920252UNINA
