Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I'd say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration.
Anyway, you still use Lorem Ipsum and rightly so, as it will always have a place in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always the way you like it, not always in the preferred order.

Revel in the skies above with this handy stargazing guide, complete with constellation charts and expert tips for observing—and understanding—the wonders of the universe.
Detailed visuals help you find the top 58 constellations of the Northern Hemisphere.
In these inviting pages, author Andrew Fazekas—The Night Sky Guy—shares knowledge and offers advice that will delight amateur astronomers of all levels. Maps, photographs, and infographics at every turn of the page make this an entertaining and fact-packed read about planets and stars, astronomical phenomena and our universe.
Essential information, organized logically, highlights features of the night sky visible from your own backyard. Start with the easiest constellations and then “star-hop” across the night sky to find others.
Fazekas offers hands-on techniques for observing with the naked eye, with binoculars, or through a small telescope, revealing the wonders of planets and astronomical events such as eclipses and meteor showers.
A total of 66 authoritative maps show constellations, season by season, accompanied by interesting facts about the myths they represent and noteworthy stars they contain. Photographs and graphics go beyond what’s visible to explain phenomena such as black holes, solar flares, and supernovas.

STARRY, STARRY NIGHT…
I bought this for my wife when I got her a telescope as a gift. She’s into astronomy and I wanted to get her a book that was basic but not too dumbed down. This is a great book, in depth but easy to understand and the pictures are amazing.Tge only negative is the print is very small and can be difficult to read. Other than that it’s a great book by National Geographic. (J)

Si le buscamos lo malo pues creo que podrĂan hacer más grande el libro para usar un tipo de letra más grande. Letra muy pequeña.Pero el contenido que es lo que importa está sensacional, mucha informaciĂłn educativa, datos de interĂ©s. Es un buen compañero de viaje o de tiempo libre
