Mapping the Heavens

New Edition

Peter Whitfield

Presenting examples ranging from ancient Egyptian tomb paintings, through medieval diagrams of the cosmic sphere and 18th-century celestial atlases to images of nebulae captured by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, this richly illustrated book traces the history of astronomy through the various ways in which the heavens and their mysteries have been observed, imagined and depicted, exploring both the scientific and mythological elements in the development of celestial maps.
