«Notte di stelle» is a popular science essay by Margherita Hack and Viviano Domenici, published by Sperling & Kupfer in paperback (330 pages).
The night sky was for ancestors a source of practical knowledge: orientation, time measurement and seasonal cycles. From that basis, Margherita Hack and Viviano Domenici explain how to recognise constellations and how eclipses or comets fed myths and beliefs, uniting astronomy, archaeology, science and legend.
The full title is «Notte di stelle. Le costellazioni fra scienza e mito: le più belle storie scritte nel cielo». It is part of the Tascabili Sperling collection and was published in 2013.
It is aimed at enthusiasts of astronomy, mythology and popular science.
Margherita Hack was an Italian astrophysicist and science communicator. The asteroid 8558 Hack, discovered in 1995, was named in her honour.
