Description :

Really fabulous Planisphere from Hammett's of Cambridge, MA. This rotating celestial map will show you the principal star for every hour of every day of every month of the year visible from 40 degrees N. Latitude (mid-way through much of the United States - it passes just north of Columbus, Ohio, and parallels roughly the Nebraska/Kansas border) Heavy cardboard/cardstock with grommet hanger. Printed in Great Britain - probably in the early 1900s given the styling and popularity of planispheres at the time. It is in pristine condition and shows no visible signs of use. Really beautiful piece of working & accessible astronomy - perfect as a piece of scientific art.

Measures 12.25" W
