'Stargazing is a lovely book. It's personal, delicate and beautifully innocent.

In this accessible and feel-good stargazing guide he majors on how looking up at the night sky is good for mental well-being. Written from the heart but with expert tips, The Secret World of Stargazing acts as a succinct and simple to understand manual for any "accidental stargazers" who picked up the habit during 2020 and now want to take the next step and learn to navigate and to know the night sky.—Forbes

An excellent, readable, bright guide to the night sky.—Dara O Briain
