{"product_id":"9780939923786","title":"Lost Stars: Lost, Missing and Troublesome Stars from the Catalogues of Johannes Bayer, Nicholas-Louis de Lacaille, John Flamsteed and Sundry Others","description":"Wagman, a history professor at Kingsborough Community College (CUNY), explores what happened to certain stars which were observed and recorded by Bayer, Flamsteed, and Lacaille but which do not appear in modern star catalogues. Part one discusses \u003ci\u003elettered\u003c\/i\u003e stars, while part two discusses \u003ci\u003enumbered\u003c\/i\u003e stars. In both parts, constellations are arranged in alphabetical order, and include a synopsis, a list of all stars with catalog numbers and visual magnitude, and an account of problematic stars with notes explaining what became of them. Included among the illustrations are all 49 constellations from Bayer's \u003ci\u003eUranometria\u003c\/i\u003e of 1603, Lacaille's planisphere of the southern sky from his \u003ci\u003eCoelum Australe\u003c\/i\u003e of 1763, and all 27 of Flamsteed's charts from his posthumously published \u003ci\u003eAtlas Coelestis\u003c\/i\u003e of 1729.
