Volume III of a comprehensive threepart guide to celestial objects outside our solar system concludes with listings from Pavo to Vulpecula While there are many books on stars there is only one Celestial Handbook Now completely revised through 1977 this unique and necessary reference is available once again to guide amateur and advanced astronomers in their knowledge and enjoyment of the starsAfter an extensive introduction in Volume I which gives the beginner enough information to follow about 80 percent of the body of the material the author gives comprehensive coverage to the thousands of celestial objects outside our solar system that are within the range of telescopes in the two to twelveinch rangeThe objects are grouped according to the constellations in which they appear Each constellation is divided into four subject sections list of double and multiple stars list of variable stars list of star clusters nebulae and galaxies and descriptive notes For each object the author gives names celestial coordinates classification and full physical description These together with a star atlas will help you find and identify almost every object of interestBut the joy of the book is the descriptive notes that follow They cover history unusual movements or appearance and currently accepted explanations of such visible phenomena as white dwarfs novae and super novae cepheids miratype variables dark nebulae gaseous nebulae eclipsing binary stars the large Magellanic cloud the evolution of a star cluster and hundreds of other topics many of which are difficult to find in one place Hundreds of charts and other visual aids are included to help in identification Over 300 photographs capture the objects and are works of beauty that reflect the enthusiasm that star gazers have for their subjectRobert Burnham Jr who was on the staff of the Lowell Observatory Flagstaff Arizona conceived the idea of The Celestial Handbook decades ago when he began assembling a notebook of all the major facts published about each celestial object In its former privately printed edition this handbook was acclaimed as one of the most helpful books for astronomers on any level.

Universe: The Solar System, Fifth Edition, contains chapters from the following sections of Freedman, Kaufmann, and Geller\'s Universe, Tenth Edition:Introducing AstronomyPlanets and Moons Plus the following chapters:Our Star: The SunThe Search for Extraterrestrial Life The three volume Burnham\'s Celestial Handbook series provides a constellation based, detailed and comprehensive guide to tens of thousands of celestial objects outside our solar system. The information presented includes: definitions, names, historical background, coordinates, classifications, physical descriptions, maps, charts, sketches, and observing guides. All told in an engaging manner.The series became an instant success with amateur astronomers, and remained so for decades. While it is now dated, it is still a popular source of information.Volume Two lists the constellations from Chamaeleon to Orion. The bodies we see in the sky from earth are called heavenly bodies or celestial bodies. They include the stars, planets, comets and the moons..
