Uranometria information


Uranometria's page of the constellation Orion

Uranometria is a star atlas produced by Johann Bayer. It was published in Augsburg in 1603 by Christoph Mang (Christophorus Mangus)[1] under the full title Uranometria: omnium asterismorum continens schemata, nova methodo delineata, aereis laminis expressa (from Latin: Uranometria, containing charts of all the constellations, drawn by a new method and engraved on copper plates). The word "uranometria", from Ancient Greek οὐρανός (ouranós) 'sky, heavens', and μέτρον (metron) 'measure', literally translates to "measuring the heavens".

It was the first atlas to cover the entire celestial sphere.

  1. ^ Christoph Mang was printing books at Augsburg with dates ranging 1567–1617, according to Johns Hopkins Library catalog Archived 2014-12-17 at the Wayback Machine; Uranometria is the most famous work issuing from his press.
