“Fallen from the sky”, John Naylor (Akal, 2005)

This guide is an essential classic for anyone who wants to understand the firmament and know how to observe its natural phenomena. It has some chapters focused on the night sky, but what truly makes this book special is the attention it pays to observing the daytime sky. The descriptions of the phenomena are suitable for all audiences and are complemented by illustrative photographs. The author expands on scientific concepts with historical and mythological notes, offering a broad and contextualized view, but without ever losing the rigor that underpins this work. Furthermore, as it focuses only on what we can see with the naked eye, we will not need any equipment to enjoy the spectacles the sky offers us!Pioneer

On August 12, 1919, Margaret Burbidge was born

Astrophysicist, astronomer, and one of the founders of modern astronomy. Her career was marked by the fight against gender discrimination: she was often denied the use of telescopes for being a woman. But by overcoming obstacles, she was the first author of the paper demonstrating that most of the known chemical elements are formed inside stars. From this came the inspiring phrase that "we are made of stardust".Agenda
