Aries Constellation, 1687
Aries constellation from Johannes Hevelius Prodromus Astronomiae, Firmamentum Sobiescianum, Sive Uranographia, 1687. Hevelius star atlas depicts the constellations as they would appear on a globe, that is, from the outside looking in, rather than from a geocentric point of view. Aries (Latin for ram'), is one of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations defined by the International Astronomical Union
