A richly illustrated guide to the myths, histories, and science of the celestial bodies of our solar system, with stories and information about constellations, planets, comets, the northern lights, and more. Combining art, mythology, and science, What We See in the Stars gives readers a tour of the night sky through more than 100 magical pieces of original art, all accompanied by text that weaves related legends and lore with scientific facts. This beautifully packaged book covers the night sky's most brilliant features--such as the constellations, the moon, the bright stars, and the visible planets--as well as less familiar celestial phenomena like the outer planets, nebulae, and deep space. Adults seeking to recapture the magic of youthful stargazing, younger readers interested in learning about natural history and outer space, and those who appreciate beautiful, hand-painted art will all delight in this charming book.

Great book to learn about outer space
I initially bought a copy for a friend who was going to live in rural SD. And had never really seen the night sky. Different then looking at the stars! I leafed through the pages and was so amazed I sent for another book for me. Family were campers and loved the night sky. Theiit is so much scientific explations. Loved the history of the planet names. Easy to read. And so much fun, too! Thank you. I

Perfect gift
This was given as a gift. The recipient absolutely loved it. The illustrations are beautiful and we loved that there wasn’t that “textbook” vibe to it.

Beautifully illustrated book for a complete beginner
3.5 Stars. This is a beautifully illustrated book and you can tell a lot of time went into the art/design of this book. This book offers a good,brief general overview of the constellations and planets and would make a great gift for someone who's interested in learning a bit more about the sky, but If youre looking for a deep dive into the science and mythology of the constellations this book isn't it. I'd reccomend this book for a complete beginner who is interested in learning basics about the constellations and planets. I wouldn't reccomend this book for someone who really wants a deep dive into the mythology and constellations. If you are looking

Beautiful, well put together book
Beautiful book with wonderful illustrations and information. The cover title has a metallic holographic shine to it (added a little video that hopefully shows this off) and is pretty in person. I got it for my 9 year old who loves art and facts and science and is currently into stars/planets/constellations. Would be great book to accompany a microscope or to gift with some type of planetarium/museum membership. A good gift for any age or gender, really.
