What's up in 2007

20 Dec 2006

A great resource for any amateur astronomer (or, in fact, anyone interested in looking at the sky): Universe Today has a freely downloadable book listing interesting sky phenomena for each day of the year.

The book is richly illustrated (which accounts for the large file size, just over 23MB) and filled with historical information and observing information. You can download the book from Universe Today, or you can get a printed copy from lulu.com.
