“Fred Schaaf is a poet of the stars,” writes William Sheehan, coauthor ofMars: The Lure of the Red Planet. “He brings the sky into people’s lives in a way that is compelling and his descriptions have all the impact of witnessing the stars on a crystal-clear dark night.” The writer of two popular long-running features in Sky & Telescope magazine, Schaaf is the author of numerous books on popular astronomy, including The Brightest Stars, The 50 Best Sights in Astronomy and How to See Them, Seeing the Deep Sky and Seeing the Solar System.
