Book Description
A beautifully illustrated collection of nonfiction stories featuring the many wonders that exist in the night sky. Beginning with a sunset and ending at dawn, Through the Night Sky shines a light on the magical events taking place in the darkness above. Unlike an astronomy book that focuses on eye-popping facts and figures about the universe, Through the Night Sky features a series of incredible stories that take place in the sky at night. Track a colony of bats as they fly through the twilight to pollinate the flowers of the mysterious baobab tree, follow a family into the wilderness to gaze at the constellations, watch whales swimming through chilly Arctic waters under the gentle glow of the Northern Lights, then chart the journey of a ship navigating by the stars. Through the Night Sky is a beautiful book that spans a wide range of subjects, including everything from nocturnal animals or revelers watching fireworks illuminate the night, to celestial objects such as the moon, planets, stars, and meteor showers--all under the vast night sky.

Book Description
Night Sky presents 200 color photographs of stunning nocturnal vistas all visible to the naked eye. Can you spot the Big Dipper in the night sky? Or Orion's Belt? Or Cassiopeia? Even in cities, and without the aid of a telescope, these are a few of the easier constellations to find. In fact, a great deal can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye - if you know what you're looking for. Night Sky presents gorgeous color photographs of these stunning nocturnal vistas. From the majesty of the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) as seen from Norway or Canada, and the Southern Lights (Aurora australis) as seen from Australia, to seeing the clarity of the Milky Way over an Italian forest, from witnessing a lunar eclipse in Indonesia to charting the course of the International Space Station across the Indian night, and from seeing a Geminid meteor shower in New Mexico to recognizing the Great Bear (Ursa Major) constellation over New England, the book is a feast of nocturnal delights. Where necessary, additional inset photographs indicate the formation of a constellation. Presented in a handy, pocket-sized landscape format, this is the perfect guide to take out at night when you're stargazing.

Wild Sky Night Sky Series # 2 Young Adult Paranormal with romantic elements First published 2015 Skylar, Calvin, Dana, and Milo are back, but now their unlikely Destiny-fighting team includes... Garrett Hathaway...? When Garrett’s friend Jilly goes missing, Coconut Key Academy’s most “popular” bully and all-around douche approaches Sky and Calvin to ask for help. From Garrett’s description of the missing girl’s telekinesis, it’s likely that Jilly is a Greater-Than like Sky and Dana—a girl with rare super-powers. And it’s highly likely that Jilly’s been kidnapped for her valuable blood—an essential ingredient in the dangerous, addictive street drug called Destiny, which makes users young, healthy, beautiful—and profoundly evil—before it kills them. When Skylar and her team finally track down Jilly, the girl oddly refuses to be rescued. In the struggle that ensues, Calvin—who’s been in a wheelchair since he was nine—is accidentally injected with Destiny. For the short-term, he can walk again, but the drug willeventually kill him. After it turns him evil... Unless Sky can find a way to save her best friend’s life... Wild Sky is the second book in a YA series set in the same dark future as Suzanne Brockmann’s Born to Darkness, the first installment in her Fighting Destiny paranormal romance series. The Night Sky YA series has the same mix of suspense, romance, humor, and the paranormal, and deals with many of the same themes, including society’s relentless exploitation and devaluation of females, and the empowerment that comes when women and girls recognize their strength and intellect, and stand up, fight back, and save the day.
