Finally finished The sky at night

Previously I mentioned "the sky at night: questions from across the universe" book by the late Patrick Moore and Chris North, that I was reading.  And today I have finished reading it. It was very informative, sometimes witty and very personalized. It covered various subjects, including our solar system, space travel, comets, asteroids, constellation, how to watch the stars and more recent things such as exo-planets and the Mars Rover.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel more enlightened thanks to it.  Did you know that Moore has met the first man to fly(Orville Wright), first man in space (Yuri Gargarin) and one of the first men on the moon (Neil Armstrong).
