This is a handbook for all astronomers designed to provide a wide range of information concerning the heavens and also create a paradigm for learning. The book covers the positioning of stars, an explanation of astronomical instruments, the solar system and stars, nebulae and galaxies.
This is considered to be the most famous star atlas in the world - known by generations of amateur astronomers as simply "Nortons". It is designed to be a leading reference handbook for astronomers. The handbook has been revised and redesigned by a team of astronomers, bringing the information fully up-to-date and reflecting new and exciting developments in observational astronomy. The star maps have been re-plotted to a new level of accuracy and legibility for the Standard Epoch of 2000.0, using state-of-the-art computer techniques specially developed for this 18th edition.
