A Constellation Album - Stars and Mythology of the Night Sky
A Constellation Album by P.K, Chen is a fun, new way to discover the beauty of the night sky and investigate the interesting subject of celestial mythology at the same time. By using transparencies to overlay traditional constellation figures onto photographs of 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 ancient times.
This guide depicts 55 constellations in the Northern Hemisphere, divided into the seasons that they are best observed. Each season has a map of the entire sky and includes the same stick-figures that the reader will find later on when using the overlays. Turn to one of the constellations and you'll find a beautiful astrophotograph, a transparent overlay that sits on top of the image, and a description of the constellation. The overlay includes the stick-figures shown in the seasonal overview, as well as a stunning mythological figure created by artist Patrick Gannon.
Not only is this work of art a nice addition to your astronomy library, but educators and outreach presenters will find it a valuable tool to astronomy programs!
