Weaving together the history and mythology of eclipses with the very latest scientific techniques and discoveries, Philip's Little Book of Eclipses is a global guide to these extraordinary events, mapping their many locations and significance over the coming decades.
Across the centuries, and across the world, solar and lunar eclipses have captured the human imagination. Weaving together their long history and mythology with the very latest scientific techniques and discoveries, Philip's Little Book of Eclipses is a global guide to their locations and significance over the coming decades.
Each year, several eclipses can be seen around the world, grabbing headlines and drawing tens of millions of curious sky-watchers to travel and observe them. Philip's Little Book of Eclipses maps the locations of both lunar and solar eclipses over the next decade and explains where and how to view and photograph these extraordinary phenomena. An excellent solar eclipse is due in Europe in August 2026 - 90% in the UK, Ireland and France, and total in Iceland, Portugal and much of Spain - and excitement around the world is mounting.
A popular science guide, this evergreen book covers the history, mysteries, secrets, discoveries and experiences of chasing eclipses - uniquely of both the Moon and the Sun. They are among the greatest spectacles in the sky, and to astronomers they hold a great deal of value for the study of the Sun, Moon and Earth itself. Readers will explore eclipse-science in an accessible way, suitable for the beginner, then find themselves with all the advice they need to predict and safely view eclipses, as well as produce their own stunning photographs.
Highlights include:
* Locations and description of the lunar and solar eclipses around the world over the next decade - so you can plan your travels early
* Accessible scientific explanations of the natural phenomena with key elements to watch for
* The best ways to observe the eclipses of the Moon and Sun safely
