It covers the lore and legend behind Ptolemy?s 48 constellations, along with significant asterisms, the planets and their moons, the brightest named asteroids and dwarf planets. The revised second edition includes a host of new moons and dwarf planets discovered since 2011. In addition, it now features a new section on major asteroids and their associated myths. While still primarily focused on Greco-Roman mythology, the book now branches out to cover more recently named objects from other cultures, such as Hawaiian, Rapanui, Tongva and Inuit. To assist practical observers, the book gives the location and description of each constellation, including named stars and deep-sky objects. A host of helpful astronomy tips and techniques, as well as a brief introduction to astrophotography, is included to encourage direct observation and imaging of these mythical objects in the night sky. 410 0$aThe Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series,$x1431-9756 606 $aAstronomy, Greek$xMythology 606 $aAstronomy, Roman$xMythology 606 $aConstellations 615 0$aAstronomy, Greek$xMythology. 615 0$aAstronomy, Roman$xMythology. 615 0$aConstellations. 676 $a523.8 700 $aFalkner$b David E.$0845150 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427683303321 996 $aThe mythology of the night sky$92275314 997 $aUNINA
