31 Mrz Asterisms – Naomi B. Cook
Who doesn’t like lying on their back, gazing up at the summer night sky and looking for the star formations they know. Telling each other the tragic story of how the big bear and the little bear found their place in the firmament.
This book is nothing less than a new map reinterpreting the celestial sphere with 35 new star patterns.
Much like the 88 constellations that make up the officially recognised map of the celestial sphere, this new one is composed of recognisable shapes that reference people, animals and inanimate objects, expanding across the sky. In the tradition of Hellenistic astrology, each asterism* is based on viewable celestial formations and references our continuous hope in the stars. All star formations have been complemented with a modern myth, each based on a verifiable certainty (i.e. a fact) that addresses modern concerns.
