Glorious Eclipses: Their Past, Present and Future by Serge Brunier, Jean-Pierre Luminet, Jean-Pierre Luminet

From the Publisher

Stargazers who may have missed the last total solar eclipse of the 20th century this past summer have just been given another chance to observe this "once in a lifetime" occurrence. Inside Glorious Eclipses they will find startling images and rich personal accounts that fully capture this event and other recent eclipses. The book will also insure that readers will not miss another eclipse in the next 60 years!

Specially designed in a beautiful, large format, the volume portrays eclipses of all kinds—lunar, solar, and those occurring elsewhere in the Solar System and beyond. Brunier and Luminet have gathered together all aspects of eclipses, and carefully selected a host of lavish images. The authors detail the history of eclipses, the celestial mechanics involved, their observation, and scientific interest.

Personal accounts of recent eclipses are also included as well as all relevant information about forthcoming eclipses up to 2060.

Complete with NASA maps and data, Glorious Eclipses is the ultimate source for all those interested in these remarkable (and rare) celestial events.
