National Geographic The Heavens Poster 30.5 x 22.75 inches Art Quality Print for Home Decor

The stars of the night sky seem to hang like tranquil lanterns. They inspire great works of art, and tempt our imaginations into creating stories and myths from the shapes we see. The violence of their births, lives, and deaths obscured by trillions of miles, fill us with wonder, and each of the thousands of stars we see is a sun much like our own - some are cooler, some are hotter. Some larger, some smaller. But all are central to existence within their own systems.
The Heavens shows star charts and constellations for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres as they appear from the North and South Poles. Bright stars on this chart are given large symbols but small numerical designations, while dim stars are indicated by small symbols but large numbers.
This attractive star chart features stunning images of various phenomena, including gravitational lenses, supernova rings, stellar gas jets, star clusters, cartwheel galaxies and exploding giant stars.
All 2,844 of the stars on the chart, plus nebulae and star clusters, can be seen with the unaided eye, making this chart a perfect tool for viewing the night sky. This map makes a wonderful companion to Northern Sky: Charting the Heavens and Southern Sky: Charting the Heavens.
