What We See in the Stars
What We See in the Stars: An Illustrated Tour of the Night Sky | Kelsey Oseid
8 posts | 5 read | 10 to read
A richly illustrated guide to the myths, histories, and science of the celestial bodies of our solar system, with stories and information about constellations, planets, comets, the northern lights, and more. Combining art, mythology, and science, What We See in the Stars is a tour of the night sky through more than 100 magical pieces of original art, all accompanied by text that weaves related legends and lore with scientific facts. This beautifully packaged book covers the night sky's most brilliant features such as constellations, the moon, the bright stars, and the visible planets, as well as less familiar celestial phenomena like the outer planets, nebulae, and deep space. Adults seeking to recapture the magic of youthful stargazing, younger readers interested in learning about natural history and outer space, and those who appreciate beautiful, hand-painted art will all delight in this charming book.

I have a weakness for journals, but seriously, I could not just let one go with this magnificent mermaid on it! Went to the bookstore with my son and the rest are kind of his
He seems to have the same bookstore problem I do with not as much of a reading obsession. I'm convinced I just haven't found his genre yet. He did start reading What We See in the Stars on the way home, so I'm hopeful.

I‘m a sucker for a good coffee table book and I absolutely love this one 😍 This is a whimsical collection that pairs scientific information about space with the stories of the constellations- perfect for space nerds, or just nerds in general 🤓 👽🌙

This turned out to be a truly gorgeous book full of really cool info about the stars, planets, space and our curiosity. Definitely a good book to help introduce the subjects to those getting started in their love of space and for kids. The illustrations are beautifully done as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I loved this book. It‘s packed full of information, it is simply beautiful, and I smiled every time I read it. Sometimes you need a book like that.
