\u0095 Waterproof \u0095 Tear-Resistant \u0095 Stargazer Map and Guide\nEvery culture has drawn pictures in the stars, creating constellations that represent animals or mythic figures. Ancient astronomers peered into the night sky and imagined glittering jewels set in a crystal sphere slowly revolving around the Earth from east to west. The 88 constellations recognized today by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) are not just pictures but basic units that partition the sky.\nThe Night Sky - Southern Hemisphere Stargazer Map and Guide is centered near Crux, the Southern Cross, which appears nearly fixed in place with the other stars on the chart rotating around it. The constellations and brighter stars are labeled with their latin names. The map also includes a table of star magnitude or brightness.\n\nNight Sky - Southern Hemisphere Map\nStargazer folded\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.;
