The Northern hemisphere star chart, created in 1537 and based on Albrecht Durer's earlier works from 1515, is a true masterpiece of its time. The intricate illustrations beautifully depict the constellations that have fascinated humanity for centuries.

Ptolemy, Aratus of Soli, Marcus Manilius, and al-Sufi stand as pillars representing different eras and cultures within astronomical knowledge. Printed in Cologne during an era when scientific discoveries were flourishing, this star chart originates from Stellarum MXXII (Books 7-8), an edition of Ptolemy's renowned Almagest. Its existence serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of unraveling the mysteries hidden among celestial bodies. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of our ancestors' fascination with the cosmos but also their artistic prowess.
