Star Hopping’s Astronomy Books

My Astronomy Books will increase your Enjoyment and Knowledge of Astronomy

As you know, I produce a recurring video series entitled “Star Hopping”. For each of these episodes, I create a digital show script that I use when filming. These scripts contain so much valuable information (as do the show episodes themselves), that I wanted to provide them to you in Digital Books.

Some of my episodes cover broader subjects that interest my viewers. The smaller Digital Guides below represent these topics.
