从1600至1800年一些美丽的星图描绘星座是根据古代神话和传说印刷出来的。在欧洲，那一个有无比高质量星图的地方，古希腊传统占了上风，星座被赋予了英雄、真实的和假想的动物、科学仪器和工具的寓意。这些图像被放置在天文经度和纬度坐标上允许明星的被映射在天空中并形成了全年的对行星和其他天体的位置预测系统的背景。这些天体地图集还包含了太阳系的图示，那些图片中既反映了现代和古代的宇宙论哲学，从而是一副追查人对他在宇宙中的地位看法的发展图。
随着国际空间站的建设和新的到月球的载人计划，以及到火星的更远的任务也在计划中，这些都是重新对星空产生的兴趣。越来越多的人多着迷于空间科学并且可能正在成为业余天文学家。古地图研究社团正在蓬勃发展，星图的收藏正在被作为一个特殊的地图收藏。同时，美丽和天体产生敬畏捕捉我们的想象力和欢乐的审美意识
这本书追溯了天体测绘历史和涉及这段历史的人类在宇宙中的地位不断变化的思想，并在影响的地图的制作。从实际古天体地图集和打印照片，许多以前未公布，丰富文本，并伴随着每一个传说说明，解释其天文和制图功能。书中还包括讨论的非欧洲天体图和美国早期的天体图的影响和收集情况
From 1600 to 1800 a number of beautiful star atlases depicting the constellations according to ancient myths and tales were printed. In Europe, where the quality of celestial atlases was unmatched, classical Greek traditions prevailed and the constellations were given allegorical visual representations of heroes and heroines, real and imaginary animals, scientific instruments and artistic tools. These images were placed in celestial latitude and longitude coordinate systems that allowed the positions of the stars to be mapped in the sky and formed the backdrop for predictions of the location of the planets and other heavenly bodies throughout the year. These celestial atlases also contained diagrams of the solar system that reflected both contemporary and ancient cosmological systems, thus tracing the development of man’s view of his place in the universe.With the construction of the International Space Station, and with new plans for manned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond, there is renewed interest in the heavens. An ever-increasing number of people are fascinated with the science of space and are becoming amateur astronomers. Antiquarian map societies are prospering, and celestial maps are now viewed as a specialty of map collecting. At the same time, the beauty and awe generated by the celestial void captures our imagination and delights our aesthetic sense.
This book traces the history of celestial cartography and relates this history to the changing ideas of man’s place in the universe and to advances in map-making. Photographs from actual antiquarian celestial atlases and prints, many previously unpublished, enrich the text, and a legend accompanies each illustration to explain its astronomical and cartographic features. Also included in the book are discussions of non-European celestial maps and chapters on early American influences and celestial map-collecting.
