Ideal reference for historians, star gazers, astronomy enthusiasts and collectors of early works. Generously illustrated showing all the constellations in the night sky. (from Latin: Uranometria, containing charts of all the constellations, drawn by a new method). The word "uranometria", from Ancient Greek ??????? (ouranós) 'sky, heavens' and ?????? (metron) 'measure', literally translates to "measuring the heavens". It was the first atlas to cover the entire celestial sphere. The Uranometria introduced a new system of star designation which has become known as the Bayer designation. Bayer's atlas included twelve new constellations invented a few years earlier to fill in the far south of the night sky, which was unknown to ancient Greece and Rome. ~ Overall a wonderful copy and informative resource.
