Whittaker Star Map 27 - A Historical Journey through the Stars of Corvus and Noctua This exquisite star map, Whittaker Star Map 27, is an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the night sky as it appeared in 1822. The map, which includes the constellations Corvus and Noctua, is a testament to the rich history of astronomy and our ongoing fascination with the mysteries of the universe. The map, produced by renowned British astronomer, John Frederick William Herschel, was published as part of his comprehensive set of star charts known as the "Catalogue of Stars in the Southern Hemisphere." This particular map, number 27, highlights the constellations Corvus (The Crow) and Noctua (The Owl), which are located in the southern hemisphere. Corvus, with its distinctive shape of a crow, is one of the 48 constellations listed by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy in his Almagest. The constellation is home to several notable stars, including Canopus, the second brightest star in the night sky, and Minkowski's R136, the most luminous star known in the local group of galaxies. Noctua, on the other hand, is a less prominent constellation, but no less fascinating. Its shape, that of an owl, is said to have been inspired by the Greek goddess Athena, who was often depicted with an owl as her symbol. The constellation contains several interesting stars, including Alpha and Beta Corvi, which form the "Tail of the Crow," a distinctive asterism within Corvus. This beautiful star map, with its intricate details and meticulous labeling, offers a captivating window into the past, allowing us to explore the night sky as it was understood over 200 years ago. The map serves as a reminder of the rich history of astronomy and our enduring fascination with the stars and the mysteries they hold.
