Northern Sky: Charting the Heavens - Atlas of the World, 11th Edition
Atlas of the World (11th Edition) | Celestial Wall Map | Constellations & Deep Sky Objects | 798 × 610 mm | Premium Finishes
Step beyond the glow of city lights and into a sky alive with detail. Northern Sky: Charting the Heavens captures the night as seen from the Northern Hemisphere—where stars, constellations, and distant galaxies form a map as rich and structured as any on Earth. Published by National Geographic as part of the Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, this map blends astronomy, history, and elegant design into a striking celestial reference.
It’s a map for those who look up—and want to understand what they see.
Why This Map Stands Out
A complete map of the northern sky
Features all 88 constellations recognised by the International Astronomical Union.
Scientific and visual clarity
Combines precise star data with a clean, readable layout.
Rooted in ancient observation
Reflects the long tradition of cultures mapping stories onto the stars.
Perfect companion piece
Pairs with Southern Sky: Charting the Heavens for a full celestial view.
A striking wall display
Equally suited to study, teaching, or gallery-style presentation.
🌌 What the Map Shows
- The night sky as viewed from the Northern Hemisphere
- All 88 officially recognised constellations, including their boundaries
- Major stars labelled using traditional Greek-letter designations:
- Alpha (brightest), Beta (second brightest), and so on
- Deep-sky objects, including:
- Galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters
- Identified using Messier (M) and New General Catalogue (NGC) numbers
- A structured celestial grid dividing the sky into mapped regions
- A framework linking astronomy, navigation, and cultural storytelling
✨ A Sky of Stories and Science
For millennia, humans have looked upward:
- Ancient astronomers imagined stars as jewels set in a rotating sphere
- Cultures across the world created constellations from myth and memory
- Modern astronomy transformed these patterns into measurable systems
- Today, the sky is both a map of imagination and a catalogue of the universe
This map captures that duality—where science meets wonder.
