Stan Shadick

Winner of two international awards in the National Calendar Awards competition: “most informative wall calendar” and “most original calendar”

Black holes, stars, planets, meteor showers, comets and galaxies are just part of what the night skies have to offer. Stan Shadick explains all things celestial in this award-winning calendar that features star maps with horizon scenes for orienting novice stargazers to the heavens; inset maps illustrating planetary conjunctions and other events; and daily commentaries that describe constellation mythology, cosmic events and celestial discoveries. Find out what to watch for in the skies every night of the year. On a dark night, most of the stars described in this calendar can be viewed with the unaided eye or with binoculars. Skywatcher's 07 Calendar is the perfect way to explore the mysteries of the heavens.

STAN SHADICK teaches both introductory and advanced astronomy courses at the University of Saskatchewan and supervises the university observatory. He is an active advocate for recreational stargazing and writes an astronomy column for various newspapers. This is his 11th Skywatcher's Calendar.
