Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
This jumbo 16-inch diameter planisphere from David H. Levy, the famous co-discoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy, makes it easy to identify stars. Simply rotate the planisphere to correspond to the day and time, face either North or South, match up the brightest stars -- and voilà. The back of the planisphere contains helpful stargazing tips and facts about other night-sky objects, such as the planets, galaxies, and meteor showers.
Arizona Daily Sun newspaper
...Levy¹s friendly style invites beginning stargazers to relax, follow the chart¹s easy to use instructions and slowly begin the fascinating task of finding the constellations...

    Great tool for beginning & experienced star gazers alike

    I received this planisphere as a gift when I was just starring out in astronomy (back in 2003). It was and still is a wonderful resource for learning the night sky. This particular planisphere is larger than most and is very easy to use (especially in the dark). The white background with blue stars and blue/black text provide a great contrast when using the planisphere in the field (i.e. - it's dark out). The planisphere is made out of durable materials after more than 4 years of use out in the field it has held up beautifully. All the print is still in excellent shape and countless nights of dew formation have not hurt the planisphere one bit. The planisphere also has some great additional facts and information printed on the face and the back to assist with finding objects.
