Product details

"The Lost Constellations: A History of Obsolete, Extinct, or Forgotten Star Lore" by John C. Barentine is a fascinating exploration of the many constellations that once appeared in star charts but have since become obsolete or forgotten. The book delves into the history of celestial cartography, tracing how different constellations were proposed, accepted, or discarded over time by influential astronomers and mapmakers. Barentine explains how the modern set of 88 constellations was standardized by professional astronomy organizations, leading to the extinction of many earlier star groupings.

What makes this book unique is its combination of historical detail with practical guidance, enabling readers to still locate and recognize these lost constellations in the night sky. It mixes history, mythology, and astronomy, showing how cultural, nationalistic, and political factors influenced which star figures survived. The book includes detailed descriptions, illustrations, and instructions for observing these forgotten celestial patterns, bringing a new dimension to stargazing by reconnecting readers with the night sky's rich and varied heritage.
