+ Useful and Cool!
Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to learn more about astronomy. I'd look up at the stars with awe but never really learned much beyond identifying the big dipper. I knew I needed a good star book that was basic enough so that I could learn from the beginning. So when I saw that DK was ...

Planet Mars: Story of Another World (Springer Praxis Books / Popular Astronomy)1 review
François Costard, Philippe Lognonné
Praxis, 2007
Mars Tour...
For a college Astronomy class, I had to give a presentation on Mars--something besides the general knowledge factoids that you can dig up off the Internet. So, I went in search of a satisfying Mars book that went beyond the basics, but didn't tax one like me who isn't the best at science. I found ...

+ MUCH Better Than Their Dual Beam Light
+ Surprise feature
In my opinion, this device is a must have for astronomers, hikers, campers, scouts, night guides, travelers, and anyone who needs a portable, user-friendly, reliable light that illuminates, but does not irritate.
RedBeam is just a little larger than a cell phone, and it can be cranked to ...

My Favorite! Two Eyes Better Than One...
I have used this bino for over a year now and couldn't be happier! For quick views and star-gazing moments, this bino is my "go-to-first" equipment. I actually use it more than any of my telescopes or other binos. My favorite targets are the Great Orion Nebula (M42), Sirius, Arcturus, the Pleiades, ...

Cute little case
And I stress the word "little". It is great for newbie astronomers who have a few accessories. I purchased it and realized that I needed something a little larger (because I have many accessories). Anyways, if you have no more that five eye pieces, single filters (e.g. moon filter, ultra block ...
