The Stars: A New Way to See Them is an astronomy book by H. A. Rey. It was first published in 1952 (Houghton Mifflin, Boston) and revised in 1962. Other editions were: Chatto and Windus, London, 1975; "A New Way to see the Stars" Paul Hamlyn, London, 1966; Enl. World-wide ed. Houghton Mifflin, 1967.

In this book, Rey set out to create a graphical, simpler view of the constellations that created a more realistic depiction of the images the constellations were supposed to represent.
