Description
This outstanging, very unusual, large celestial chart shows the constellations of both the northern and southern hemispheres on a single rectangular projection. In addition to expected constellations and the Milky Way, the twelve new constellations shown are: the Chameleon, the Phoenix, the Toucan, Grus (the crane), Indus (Indian warrior with spear), Hydrus, Pavo, Paradisea, Triangulum, Musca (the fly), Volans (a flying fish) and Dorado (the goldfish). The chart below gives location calculations for the 12 zodiac signs over time. Cherubs support a small cartouche within the chart (Door Dit Hemels Pleyn). From Elwe's monumental 'Atlas'.
