Out of the Blue（ISBN=9780521809252） pmlz 电子版 pdf docx 网盘 kindle azw3 下载

Why is the sky blue and why are sunsets red? When can I see a

rainbow? Why is the moon sometimes visible in daylight? In Out of

the Blue skywatcher John Naylor offers practical advice about where

and when you can expect to see natural phenomena, what you will see

and how to improve your chances of seeing it. Naylor takes in both

the night and the day sky, and deals only with what can be seen

with the naked eye. Drawing on science, history, literature and

mythology, and assuming only basic scientific knowledge, Out of the

Blue is for everyone who enjoys being outdoors and who feel curious

or puzzled about things optical and astronomical. John Naylor was

born in England, but spent his childhood in Peru. A graduate of

London University with a degree in philosophy, he teaches physics

at a secondary school in London.
