Our latest 116-page Astronomy Now special edition is an extravaganza of astronomy for the year ahead. Featuring star charts for all seasons, special sky tours of galaxies, star clusters, the summer Milky Way and winter’s bright stars, plus a look at what the planets are doing in 2011, the Astronomy Now Yearbook is the perfect catch-all guide to the night sky over the next twelve months. Plus, there’s more! We introduce you to major new space missions: GRAIL, a gravity mission, is off to the Moon; Mars lander Curiosity will touch down on the red planet and Juno will commence its five year journey to Jupiter, where it will get to the bottom of the giant planet’s structure, origin and evolution. We also present an epitaph for the space shuttle, and find out what the Cassini, Mercury MESSENGER and the planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft are up to. And to see you through the year’s biggest observing sessions we provide an essential star party survival guide. With all this, plus a lookback at 2010 with our news review and a collection of some of that year’s best astro-pictures.
