The Night Sky – Northern Hemisphere Stargazer Map and Guide is centered on Polaris, the North Star, which appears fixed in place with the other stars on the chart rotating around it. The map includes a table of star magnitude or brightness.
Each feature is listed in a detailed index to help easily locate them across the Moon’s surface. Earth’s moon is not the only moon in our local solar system. A graphic on the map shows the relative size of moons from the Mars’ tiny Deimos to the enormous Titan orbiting Saturn.
The outer solar system is where gas giants reside. Jupiter and Saturn are nearly all atmosphere over a small dense core. Uranus and Neptune appear to have much larger solid cores relative to their size under their hydrogen-helium veils.The Solar System Stargazer Map and Guide includes detailed images of the planets and a striking comparison of all of the planets relative to the much larger Sun.
