Photographs from actual antiquarian celestial atlases and prints, many previously unpublished, enrich the text, and a legend accompanies each illustration to explain its astronomical and cartographic features. Also included in the book are discussions of non-European celestial maps and chapters on early American influences and celestial map-collecting...With the construction of the International Space Station, and new plans for manned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond, there is renewed interest in the heavens.

The beauty and awe generated by the celestial void captures our imagination and delights our aesthetic sense.. | | 出版日期 | Book 20071st edition | | 关键词 | Celestial Cartography; Cosmology; Star Maps explained; Universe; instruments | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-71669-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-71669-5 | | copyright | Praxis 2007 |
