Created during the 17th century, this engraving is part of the renowned Uranometria collection by Johann Bayer. The image transports us to a mesmerizing night sky filled with celestial wonders and mythical creatures. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to an array of constellations that have fascinated humanity for centuries. Amongst the stars, we can spot various animals and birds, each representing a different constellation.

A majestic phoenix soars gracefully through the heavens while reptiles slither amidst the starry backdrop. This fusion of astronomy and mythology adds an enchanting element to the artwork.
