The Lost ConstellationsA lost history of the night sky hides in plain sight. When the professional astronomy community defined a set of 88 canonical constellations in 1922, many figures shown on historical star charts were discarded. This reference is the first comprehensive work on obsolete constellations ever published. The history and iconography of 27 figures are discussed, and a finder chart is provided for each.
