Perfect for stargazers and armchair astronomers of all ages, CONSTELLATIONS is a beautifully illustrated, fascinatingguide to all 88 constellations, including an illustrated star map for each. In CONSTELLATIONS, award-winning astronomy writer Govert Schilling takes us on an unprecedented visual tour of all 88 constellations in our night sky. Much more than just a stargazer's guide, CONSTELLATIONS is complete history of astronomy as told by Schilling through the lens of each constellation. The book is organized alphabetically by constellation. Profiles of each constellation include basic information such as size, visibility, and number of stars, as well as information on the discovery and naming of the constellation and associated lore. Beyond details about the constellation itself is information about every astronomical event that took place or discovery made in the vicinity of the constellation. In the constellation of Cygnus (the Swan) we encounter the location of the first confirmed black hole. A stop at Gemini (the Twins) is a chance to say hello to the dwarf planet Pluto, and in Orion (the hunter) we find the location of the first identified gamma-ray burst.Stunning star maps throughout the book by acclaimed star mapmaker Wil Tirion show us the exact location of every constellation, the details of its structure, as well as its surrounding astronomical neighbors.

With this publication the author will reveal a fascinating prehistoric system of orientation that has existed over thousands of years, a system that has constantly been visible but could no longer be identified or decoded. Sir Isaac Newton himself was the first scientist who attempted to solve this mystery. However, it wasn't until the beginning of the 21st century that the German geographer and artscientist, Kai-Helge Wirth finally fullfilled Sir Isaac's quest. Wirth assembled all available sources about the origins of the star constellations in his work „Chronologia“ and examined texts by Appolonius, Exodus and others in great detail. Newton reached the following conclusion: the star constellations were not a natural phenomenon, visible to anyone, who gazes at the sky – but, rather designs, created by seafarers, as an aid in orientation. Chiron, the teacher of the Argonauts drew up a map of the 48 constellations as we know them today. After that it was Musaios, helmsman (navigator) of the seagoing ship ARGO, who transferred Chiron's constellations to a 3-D globe. This is identical with Isaac Newton's discoveries. The images of the star maps add up to a concrete map of the world and, the constellations are shaped and arranged to represent the world's currents in minute detail. Neighboring images show neighboring currents. This opens surprising insight into the wide range of prehistoric knowledge and the communication horizon of ancient mankind.
