The best aspect of this book is how closely it ties "astronomy facts" (like star magnitude/sequence/size/age/etc) into what we see in the sky that night. For example, an explanation of star clusters appears while we're looking at the constellation Taurus, because that's where the Pleiades and Hyades are. A discussion of stellar distances appears when we look at Sirius and wonder why it's so bright, and so on. To us, at least, that makes the "astronomy facts" much more interesting and relevant.2. It strikes a nice balance between the "let's look at constellations!" style and the college textbook of facts style that so many astronomy books struggle with. It starts out very simply, and maintains a easy reading style throughout, but also contains complex facts, like the analysis of light curves (the same sort of thing I see posted on the wall in the astronomy department at the university where I work).3. [non-homeschoolers can skip this part] We like the day-by-day format. 10-15 minutes to read and prepare, 15 minutes to go outside and look at the sky, and 5-10 minutes to write up the day's observations afterwards. Do that 3-4 nights a week for a year and you've got a high school science lab credit. Super easy to do at night with a teenager that doesn't want to go to bed but doesn't want to get out the math book at 10 PM. Also, since it's at night, its a homeschool subject that working Dads can take the lead on. The only problem of the book's format is cloudy days. When that happens, we have to figure out which skipped days were important, which to review, that sort of thing. ### ⭐⭐⭐ January 1st *by D***J on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020* It might be for every night of the year, but if you're a total newbie, you can't start on *any* night of the year. It's best if you can start on January 1st. The three stars I am giving this text is not so much a criticism of it as it is an indication of my unfortunate impatience. Also, if you start on January 1st, you would need to stargaze every night for 365 days since the book's format is like a Christian devotional that you go to daily for your "bread." But it's unlike a Christian devotional in the way that each night seems to build to the next night: if a night is missed, it isn't clear that I would have the background for the following night, although the previous night can be simply read. This is an interesting approach. Finally, note that this book is all about *seeing* the sky. The author says that his interest in the sky is primarily aesthetic rather than scientific. So, if super-scientific books on stargazing turn you off, this is the one to get. Recommended as a Christmas/Xmas gift for kids and adults new to astronomy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The astronomy book I recommend most *by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2006* I have been in amateur astronomy for 17 years. "365" was one of my first books, and the one I purchase for friends who are clueless about the night sky. A wonderful introduction for the novice, or review for the experienced. Read it through and you'll be ready to give a planetarium show under the stars (or even in a planetarium). Its greatest shortcoming is the lack of an index, for which I remove one "star" from the rating. As planets are the "wanderers," you'll go elsewhere to find and study them (several web sites can help, or the astronomy magazines). The hand-drawn star charts in the book certainly suffice for learning the night sky. Again, the astronomy magazines are helpful in containing current charts for the season.The book is not meant to read one night at a time, but in general guides you to what is a fun aspect of amateur astronomy: that the sky provides a calendar, a sense of changing seasons. This is the strength of the book: why your view of the sky changes over time, that is, over the course of the night and over the course of days to months, and changes with your location on earth.
