Reviews
'There is a huge amount of detail covered in this very readable and well presented book.’Astronomy & Space, "This a great book for anyone who is interested in the sky, day or night...in addition to it being wonderfully written, it is packed full of colour photographs and illustrations..." Edmonton RASC Stardust, 'I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in optical and astronomical phenomena.' Astronomy Now, 'It would make an ideal reference book for anybody interested in the sky, night or day, as well as providing an introduction to more specialist texts in the subjects covered.' Weather, 'This book is about looking up to the sky. John Naylor belongs to the happy band of people who have, from childhood looked upward with awe and wonder at the amazing number of natural phenomena visible to the understanding gaze. In this book, that understanding is presented to the reader ... in a beautifully organised and effective piece of educational material ... The excellent index makes it suitable as a reference book, so it should be in every school and college library.' Eddie Richards, Gnonom, ' ... it addresses all aspects of natural phenomena seen in the sky, day and night. The pictures are excellent, some of the best I have seen published in a book of this kind, and are complemented by precise figures to show the detail of the process. The text is clear and interesting, full of examples and accounts of the diverse phenomena described. ... All in all a most satisfactory read.' A&G, 'This book is about looking up to the sky. John Naylor belongs to the happy band of people who have, from childhood looked upward with awe and wonder at the amazing number of natural phenomena visible to the understanding gaze.

The excellent color images and diagrams illustrate phenomena that many people may have seen without knowing a name or cause.... Recommended." Choice, 'Naylor includes some intriguing historical and personal anecdotes that amateurs of all levels should appreciate. His research and writing go a step beyond anything you'd expect to find in a rudimentary beginner's guide. Out of the Blue, which should help to inspire skywatchers of all ages - dedicated amateurs or not.' Sky & Telescope, "...useful and educating...well thought out and presented...brilliant presentation...this reviewer highly recommends this book to anyone who has an interest in visual phenomena." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
