Heavens, The - Palomar Sky Survey (1983) (Map) Pint Glass 16oz

Heavens, The - Palomar Sky Survey (1983) (Map) The "Heavens, The" is a comprehensive star map produced as part of the Palomar Sky Survey conducted in 1983. This survey was an astronomical project aimed at creating a detailed photographic atlas of the entire northern sky, with particular emphasis on stars and galaxies beyond our own Milky Way. The resulting map, titled "Heavens, The", provides an extensive visual representation of the celestial sphere, including thousands of stars and objects visible to the naked eye as well as those requiring telescopic observation. It served as a significant resource for both amateur and professional astronomers, offering a valuable tool for navigating the night sky and studying various cosmic phenomena. The Palomar Sky Survey was carried out using the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The project's successor, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, continued this legacy of comprehensive sky mapping, expanding to cover the entire sky and pushing the boundaries of astronomical discovery even further.
