Maintaining its appealing style and presentation, the Yearbook of
Astronomy 2023 contains comprehensive jargon-free monthly sky notes
and an authoritative set of sky charts to enable backyard astronomers
and sky gazers everywhere to plan their viewing of the year’s
eclipses, comets, meteor showers and minor planets as well as
detailing the phases of the Moon and visibility and locations of the
planets throughout the year. To supplement all this is a variety of
entertaining and informative articles, a feature for which the
Yearbook of Astronomy is known. Presenting the reader with information
on a wide range of topics, the articles for the 2023 edition include,
among others, The Incomparable Sir Patrick Moore; Shining a Light on
Jupiter’s Atmosphere; A Brief History of the End of the Universe;
The Closing of Historic Observatories; The Ability to Believe: Bizarre
Worlds of Astronomical Antireality; Optical SETI at Harvard; The
Future of Spaceflight; and Male Family Mentors for Women in Astronomy:
Caroline and William Herschel. This iconic publication made its first
appearance way back in 1962, shortly after the dawning of the Space
Age. Now into its seventh decade of production, the Yearbook continues
to be essential reading for anyone lured and fascinated by the magic
of astronomy and who has a desire to extend their knowledge of the
Universe and the wonders it plays host to. The Yearbook of Astronomy
is indeed an inspiration to amateur and professional astronomers
alike, and warrants a place on the bookshelf of all stargazers and
watchers of the Universe.
