Le Guide du Ciel 2010-2011

Over the years and through its 16 editions, this French book (Le Guide du Ciel 2010-2011: 2010-2011 Guide to the Sky) has earned a reputation as an essential reference that is perfectly justified! In 350 pages, Guillaume Cannat gives you pointers for following the most beautiful celestial phenomena expected between June 2010 and June 2011. Lunar months, positions of the planets, occultations, meteor showers and more, not forgetting expert suggestions with regard to observations and a guide for astronomical instruments and resources (the Internet, reviews, useful addresses): you will not miss anything thanks to a clear layout with accurate, easy-to-understand texts. Moreover, the author includes the main space anniversaries! Yet another reason (if one was needed...) for purchasing this annual French bible which keeps you in touch with the sky.
