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).

Patrick Moore: the sky at night

I am still reading Gribbin's quantum computing book, but today I have bought the Kindle version of
The sky at night: questions from across the universe,written by the late Sir Patrick Moore.  Like the previous book, it is another question and answer book, which answers questions posed by BBC Sky at night viewers from over the years.  I have only just started reading it and one thing he mentioned was that it is perfectly reasonable to look at the stars using binoculars, instead of a telescope. He does explain alot of the scientific concepts quite well without delving to much into physics and chemistry jargon.
