This in-depth guide first introduces readers to the objects in the sky -- from stars, to comets, to globular clusters -- and 88 pages takes them through the cosmic events to look out for each month in 2024, with sky maps, moon phase charts and info about the planets.
The book also features:

- The April 2024 full solar eclipse, seen over a broad swath of the US. The "path of totality" starts in Texas and ends in the Northeast. It will be a huge, widely anticipated event
This 2024 edition of Night Sky Almanac features eight additional pages of content, including more information about our visible universe, photos of different telescope types and a new section about asteroids.
The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) was founded ad hoc in 1868 and incorporated in 1890 with a dual membership of professionals and amateurs.
