Hemispheres
Constellations;
ecliptic, equator lines
Globe's north pole
Polar axis
Constellation Hydra.


Stellar symbols

Polar calattes, spherical zones
stellar magnitudes.
Horizon and median rings
skeletal hemisphere
stellar magnitudes
armillary sphere

Post Copernican celestial globes

God's design or Nature's
siderius nuncius
theoretical concepts
venerable techniques
heterogeneous history
Galileo moment!
