The Atlas Coelestis is a star atlas published posthumously in 1729, based on observations made by the First Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed.[1]
The Atlas – the largest that ever had been published and the first comprehensive telescopic star catalogue and companion celestial atlas[2][3] – contains 26 maps of the major constellations visible from Greenwich, with drawings made in the Rococo style by James Thornhill. It also presents two planispheres designed by Abraham Sharp.[1]
