Millennium Star Atlas: An All Sky Atlas, Comprising One Million Stars to Visual Magnitude Eleven from Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues and Ten Thousand Non-stellar Objects. In Three Volumes.
Cambridge, MA/Noodwijk: Sky Publishing Corporation/European Space Agency, 1997.
Three volumes, large quartos, 1548 pages of charts in all. The European Space Agency, which launched the Hipparcos satellite in 1989 claims that this new atlas contains as many as ten times the number of objects of any previous sky atlas, and Perryman, an Hipparcos Project Scientist, describes the completion of the Millennium Star Atlas as a major cartographic achievement, standing alongside the great sky maps of antiquity. All volumes in fine condition, in navy cloth with black spine labels, all in a navy cloth covered slipcase.
