### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Raymo is a gift!
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2000*

In THE SOUL OF THE NIGHT, a collection of tender, lyrical essays praising the night sky, astronomer, physicist and college professor Chet Raymo teaches by example that science and passion are intimately, irrepressibly  connected; they're meant for each other.Through his eyes and pen, Raymo  draws breathtaking pictures of our universe and connects them to mythology,  literature, religion, history and anthropology. He calls on Roethke, Rilke,  Shelley, Thoreau, Buddha, the Bible and the Koran, among others, to inspire  his instructive reveries. He compares the night sky to Moby Dick, a  butterfly's chrysalis to stardust, and the Earth's cone-shaped shadow in  outer space to a wizard's cap "8000 miles wide in diameter at the rim,  where it fits snugly on the Earth's brow." And when the sun and moon  come together in eclipse, he transforms the view into a gentle kiss between  lovers.Now THIS is the way to learn astronomy.Raymo deserves to be  savored slowly, by candlelight.

    Read the music
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016*

Read the music which moves his soul. Open your mind to the poetic prose of this man and you can dance in the sunlight of distant stars and commune with past like minds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book.
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2012*

I already owned this book and I usually re-read it about once a year. I love the writing. It takes scientific concepts and turns them into a poetic prose that reminds me of the writing of Thoreau, Emerson, and Whitman.I purchased this copy as a gift to a friend who was flying to Australia. What better way to spend the hours in flight than taking flight with Chet Raymo.
