Constellation Album
P.K. Chen
Here's a fun new approach to discovering the beauty of the night sky and exploring celestial mythology at the night sky, renowned astrophotographer P.K. Chen has created an exciting and unusual way to link the brightest stars within each constellation to the legendary figures placed in the sky by the Greek and Roman astronomers of old.
This guide is for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere and includes 55 constellations, many of them P.K.'s favorites. The book divides the sky into four seasons, and at the beginning of each is an all-sky chart with the same stick-figure outlines found in the constellation overlays that follow. A getting started section provides all the background knowledge needed to get out under the stars and start spotting these fascinating celestial patterns. Each constellation spread contains a breathtaking astrophotograph, a description of the constellation, and a transparency overlay that sits atop the astrophoto and depicts both the standard stick-figure for the constellation and a stunning mythological figure created by artist Patrick Gannon. This book is sure to keep you and your family looking at the stars for years to come!
