Star Gazers

Finding Joy in the Night Sky

David H. Levy,

About this book

A flash, a single streak of light, is what sparked David Levy's passion for astronomy more than sixty years ago. In this delightful collection of essays, Levy shares not only his love for the sky and stars, but also his love for language and literature. With the voice of a poet and the eye of a skilled, albeit amateur, astronomer, Levy takes us on a glorious adventure as large as the universe.

Bringing together writing from across two decades of stargazing, Levy explores the different aspects of the night sky, from the simple star-studded vault that appears every clear night, to insight into how some amateur astronomers use advanced equipment to image details of the night sky. He writes about the James Webb Space Telescope and the Northern Lights, offering commentary on astronomical events and the profound questions they inspire. While there are books that describe how to observe the sky, this book explains why.

Star Gazers is a celebration of the joy and mystery found in the stars, with the author's personal experiences serving as a continuous thread throughout. Whether you are a seasoned astronomer or a curious newcomer, Star Gazers will inspire you to look up and embrace the night sky with renewed passion and curiosity.
