Artwork of the celestial southern hemisphere
Southern hemisphere stars. Computer artwork of the brightest stars visible in the southern hemi- sphere sky, with lines of latitude (circles) and longitude (radii). The star clouds of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds appear as grey areas in the upper frame and at lower centre respectively. The celestial south pole (which lies over Earths south pole) is at centre, with the celestial equator forming the outermost circle. As the Earth spins during the night, an observer would see the stars apparently moving in circles around the south pole. (See R800/153 for the northern hemisphere)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the celestial southern hemisphere in all its glory. Created through computer artwork, it beautifully captures the brightest stars visible in the southern hemisphere sky. The intricate lines of latitude and longitude create a mesmerizing pattern, resembling a cosmic web. In this artwork, we can also see the ethereal star clouds of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds depicted as grey areas. These celestial wonders add depth and mystique to the upper frame and lower center respectively. At the heart of this masterpiece lies the celestial south pole, mirroring Earth's own south pole. Surrounding it is the outermost circle representing the celestial equator. As our planet spins throughout the night, an observer would witness a breathtaking spectacle: stars seemingly moving in graceful circles around this central point. This phenomenon reminds us of our place within a vast universe that is constantly in motion. This awe-inspiring image serves as an invaluable tool for astronomers and enthusiasts alike. It provides a comprehensive view of not only individual stars but also their interconnectedness within constellations and galaxies. A true testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration, this artful representation invites us to ponder upon our place among these distant stellar marvels.
