Product description

  • Where do the names of the constellations come from?
  • Fascinating sky atlas for explorers
  • Richly illustrated with historical and modern star charts for observing the sky

Fascinating stories surround constellations such as Orion and the Big Dipper, as well as signs of the zodiac such as Taurus and Gemini. This book explores the true stories behind the constellations and their meanings in different cultures.

The detailed portraits in this sky atlas are illustrated with historical and modern star charts. The texts shed light on the origins and customs of ancient Babylon and Greece, as well as the myths of the Australian Aborigines and Chinese astronomy.

The night sky comes to life and bears witness to a former way of life in harmony with the stars.

The author Susanne M. Hoffmann has a PhD in astronomy and is a specialist in the history of science and didactics. Her particular research interests lie in the origins of the constellations.
