Of the millions of stars in the sky, about 2,000 are visible to our naked eyes; far less are visible in cities where the lights blot out duller stars
This guide focuses on the brightest stars and constellations that are visible from cities in the Northern Hemisphere in the summer and winter skies
This guide is intended to serve as a star "finder" only and should supplement a field guide to astronomy that can provide detailed information about stars, constellations and celestial events.
