A Constellation Album: Stars and Mythology of the Night Sky
$34.95 (list)
Here's a fun new approach to discovering the beauty of the night sky and exploring celestial mythology at the same time. By using transparencies to overlay traditional constellation figures onto his photographs of the night sky, renowned astrophotographer P. K. Chen has created an exciting and unusual way to link the brightest stars within each constellation to the legendary figures placed in the sky by the Greek and Roman astronomers of old.
This guide is for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere and includes 55 constellations. Each constellation spread contains a breathtaking astrophotograph, a description of the constellation, and a transparency overlay that depicts both the standard stick-figure for the constellation and a stunning mythological figure created by cut paper artist Patrick Gannon.
