 Great collection of astonomical pictures May 5, 2008

A heavy and thick book with a great compendium of pictures shown on the Astronomical Picture of the Day website. It's a very good selection, and the captions - however brief - are interesting enough. To be read and enjoyed little by little, a few pages each day.

Astronomy: 365 DaysBeware of BordeeBook seller. I paid $38.60 to BordeeBook for a new copy and received in the mail a used book $13.99 Sort Floor Books. I don't know why my order was fouled up beyond all recognition, but BordeeBook denies receiving the book I returned for the promised refund and my credit card company will not pursue the case without a return tracking number. Also, forget about Amazon...they didn't even try...just passed me on to the seller.

This book lives up to the others that preceed it. The collection of photographs are powerful, and there are 365 days of these images along with desciptions. The book is informative as well as stunning to look at. This is one for the coffee table and not the shelf.

I purchased the book as a gift and was lucky enough to have the recipient show me what was inside. The photos are breathtaking and really amazing. I recommend this book for anyone with an interest in the stars.
Glorious Images May 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Astronomy: 365 is a wonderfully simple concept: one picture for each of the 365 nights of the year. This allows for a great variety of images, taken by all sorts of instruments from ordinary cameras to the Hubble Space Telescope, spanning broad panoramas of the night or evening sky to extreme close-ups of the Moon, galaxies and other heavenly bodies. Each image comes with a page of explanation of what can be seen and how the image was obtained.
A fascinating collection: the only criticism possible being that the book is rather small in both senses: it leaves you hungry for more pictures, which could be done more justice on larger format pages...
