    a synoptic table that shows how to choose the proper map for use at any time special tables that give approximate positions of the planets for the years 1992 through 1997
    the most up-to-date overview of the solar system available today the latest facts about each of the planets -- orbit, size, atmosphere, internal structure, climate, and terrain
    a full chapter on the history and development of the constellations, and the ancient legends and mythological lore surrounding them
    a special section on meteors -- how they originate and when and where to spot them.
