Stars and planets have fascinated people throughout history, and ancient peoples treated them as sacred mysteries. Many cultures explained them through myths and legends. This book briefly introduces astronomy from Ptolemy to the modern day, and explores constellations, the Sun, Moon and planets along with their stories and beliefs. Colour illustrations and diagrams help readers find the objects in the night sky. Translated into Finnish by Pekka Tuomisto.
