Book Description
It has been the aim of the authors to give in this little book a brief, simple, and accurate account of the heavens as they are known to astronomers of the present day. It is believed that there is nothing in the book beyond the comprehension of readers of ordinary intelligence, and that it contains all the information on the subject of astronomy that is needful to a person of ordinary culture. The authors have carefully avoided dry and abstruse mathematical calculations, yet they have sought to make clear the methods by which astronomers have gained their knowledge of the heavens. The various kinds of telescopes and spectroscopes have been described, and their use in the study of the heavens has been fully explained.

Book Description
The stars in the night sky over the Hawaiian Islands overwhelm us with feelings of wonder and amazement. They provoke images of Hawaii's first people, finding their way by use of the stars in the heavens. Their knowledge of the skies, from the Hokupaa (North Star) to the Hanaiakamalama (Southern Cross) helped them navigate the vast Pacific in double-hulled canoes without use of compasses or maps. In contrast, today's astronomers have explored the heavens with the use of advanced technology, traveling to our moon and planets beyond. This book presents an overview of current knowledge about the night sky above us and the vast universe beyond. Twelve monthly star charts, plus two which label star names in Hawaiian, with help guide you. Hawaiian astronomy is explored through legend and what oral knowledge has survived to the present time. This book marries the knowledge of the masterful navigators of ancient Hawaii with today's astronomy experts to bring you an all-encompassing view of Hawaii's skies, past and present.
