The 21 stars of the first magnitude each have their own physical characteristics, and many have historical events and mythological legends associated with them. To be found in the northern and southern hemispheres, the stars are described in chapters devoted to each star. This book is illustrated in colour throughout, with photographs, solar system maps and diagrams, providing a panoramic view of some of the most interesting stars to be seen with the naked eye.
