Asterisms - Naomi B. Cook

asterism – | ˈastərɪsm | (noun) a group of stars that form a pattern in the night sky. Asterisms – a new map reinterpreting the celestial sphere with 35 new star patterns. Much like the 88 constellations that make up the officially recognized map of the celestial sphere, this new map is composed of recognizable shapes that reference people, animals and inanimate objects, expanding across the sky. In the tradition of Hellenistic astrology, each asterism is based on viewable celestial formations and references our continuous hope in the stars. All star formations have been complemented with a modern myth, each based on a verifiable certainty (i.e. a fact) that adresses modern concerns.
