Map of the night sky
This map of the night sky was created as a supplement to my new book Vargic’s Curious Cosmic Compendium.

It showcases the North and South celestial hemispheres of the night sky in exquisite detail, showing thousands of the brightest stars, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters in all of the 88 constellations.
The map also includes names and bayer designations for many hundreds of the brightest stars, and english translation is provided for all the constellations. To make them more easily distinguishable, all constellations are subtly color coded
Surrounding the main map, one can also find maps of the near and far side of the moon (with names of all the regions and landforms translated into english), and also information panels listing the brightest, closest and most luminous stars.
