Urania’s Star Charts [EPUB ebook] 
The Original Astronomical Illustrations

الدعم

Discover the wonders of the heavens in this beautifully illustrated star atlas featuring over 70 astrological constellations.

Urania’s Star Charts is a brilliant testament to centuries of celestial observation. First published in 1825, its 32 illustrated cards present heavenly figures sprawled across the stars in stunning detail. Showcasing key constellations like Ursa Major and the twelve zodiacs, it encapsulates stories of the heavens in brilliantly coloured luminary forms, transforming the night sky into a canvas of legend and lore.

Republished here with additional writings on astronomy, plus comprehensive astronomical descriptions and the ancient fables of each constellation, Urania’s Star Charts: The Original Astronomical Illustrations is an artefact of celestial cartography unlike any other. It represents a unique period of star atlas production, where age-old knowledge, folkloric narratives, and groundbreaking research meet. A truly stunning example of where the arts and sciences collide, it’s perfect for those interested in the history of astronomy and the study of the heavens.
