Map of the southern heavens

A map of the southern heavens is a chart that depicts stars, constellations, and celestial features visible from the Southern Hemisphere. It serves as a guide to locate and identify objects in the night sky, illustrating their positions relative to each other and the horizon at a specific time and place. These maps often include prominent constellations like the Southern Cross and the Magellanic Clouds, enabling stargazers to navigate the Southern celestial sphere with clarity and ease. They are valuable tools for astronomers, travelers, and enthusiasts exploring the night sky from southern latitudes.
