Beskrivning
Why is the sky blue and why are sunsets red? When can I see a rainbow? Why is the moon sometimes visible in daylight? In Out of the Blue skywatcher John Naylor offers practical advice about where and when you can expect to see natural phenomena, what you will see and how to improve your chances of seeing it. He takes in both the night and the day sky, and deals only with what can be seen with the naked eye. Drawing on science, history, literature and mythology, and written in a popular style that assumes only basic scientific know-how, Out of the Blue is for everyone who enjoys being outdoors and who feels curious or puzzled about things optical and astronomical.

Recensioner i media

' … it addresses all aspects of natural phenomena seen in the sky, day and night. The pictures are excellent, some of the best I have seen published in a book of this kind, and are complemented by precise figures to show the detail of the process. The text is clear and interesting, full of examples and accounts of the diverse phenomena described. … All in all a most satisfactory read.' A&G
