About This Map
Star chart that shows constellations of both northern and southern hemispheres from the equinoctial to both poles. This map is unusual in that it shows the constellations as if looking down on the Earth as opposed to looking out, so the constellations are reversed. Charts at the bottom show measurements grouped by zodiacal sign.
