Author Information

Jamie Carter is a journalist based in the United Kingdom with 17 years experience of communicating science and technology via articles in magazines, newspapers and online. In his work as a travel journalist he has written several eye-witness articles and reports on everything from the aurora borealis, total solar eclipses and stargazing to the dark sky destinations, astro-tourism and astro-photography. His work has been published by the BBC Sky At Night magazine and website, MSN, LifeHacker, Real Travel and Hong Kong's South China Morning Post newspaper, for which Jamie is a regular columnist. Jamie also owns and edits the TravGear.com website. While reporting from under some of the darkest skies the world has to offer, Jamie became convinced that stargazing should be an essential part of any trip or outdoor vacation. His efforts to learn as much as possible about the night sky in one calendar year led to some intensive research, incessant stargazing, and an unexpected obsession with the lunar calendar. It led to a series of articles for the BBC Sky At Night magazine, which inspired this book.
