[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Space has long been a topic I have enjoyed. I like space in general, but missions to explore around Earth and the moon are specifically interesting to me. Since I won't be able to do anything like that personally, seeing the experiences and pictures from others that have done it are great to see. This book details the missions to explore the moon, including what led up to them and how preparations were made. All aspects of the flights, from the initial space launches to the rockets and modules, to the people involved are included. Each section is very thorough and includes pictures that help explain the information and let readers see what the people and equipment were like. Anybody with an interest in space would find this book informative and engaging.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars My husband is hard to shop for and finding a unique gift that he will love is even harder. I saw this book and wondered if it might be right for him…and it is! He’s an astronomy nerd and this book is going to be a great way for him to enjoy this passion every day in 2023. I was going to wait to give it to him at Christmas, but I figured this would make a great anniversary gift for him and he can read up and be ready for 2023. This makes a great gift for anyone who is interested in the subject. Don’t hesitate to buy if for them, you’ll have title of best gift giver for a while!

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I am reading second edition of this scientific feast that is published every year. It is for astronomers both academic and amateurs. It is kind of encyclopedia. I liked story on voyager one and effect of starlink satellites on astronomy. Book is full of wonderful insights about upcoming astronomical events and has spotlight on heroes of the past.
