There is no mistaking the breathtaking beauty of the night’s sky when it is lit up thousands of stars. Depending on your location, meaning not stuck in a smoggy city, it can appear as though the sky is blanketed with these remarkable glowing specs. There isn’t a time that goes by when visiting my father out in the country that I don’t spend a lot of time gazing up at those stars. I’m usually only able to make out  the big dipper or one or two others, but it is truly a breathtaking site.This fascinating film takes us there into the sky, mapping out its beauty for all to see and appreciate. Stargazing: A Graphic Guide to the Heavens shows viewers how to map out this beautiful sky. A glossy reference for all of us to understand, it points out nebulae, stars, flashing pulsars, galaxies, rotating swarms of 150 billion stars who have destructive black holes at their centre, among other sky phenomena.

Stargazing: A Graphic Guide to the Heavens simplifies this complicated sky by showing the viewers how it is viewed from three latitude bands. The mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the mid-latitudes and the southern hemisphere, a magnificent and awe-inspiring view across the world.
