Constellation Art

Antique constellation artwork depicts the constellations with an old-world feel. Done in soft golden hues and creams, “Leo Major and Leo Minor Constellation,” by artist unknown is an antiqued illustrated rendition of the constellations of Leo Major and Leo Minor, two lions that are represented as stars. “Constellations Of The Zodiac,” by artist unknown, charts all of the constellation of the zodiac in poster, featuring a dark blue background and bright gold lettering.

“Stephan’s Quintet, a grouping of galazies in the Constellation Pegasus,” by Roberto Colombari, is a picture that depicts four clustered galaxies suspended among the constellation Pegasus. The photograph, “NGC 3603, a giant H-II region in the Constellation Carina,” by Robert Gendler for Stocktrek Images vividly captures the bright stars that make up the constellation Carina, surrounded by bursts of magenta and purple clouds.
