Description	Hevelius's 'Prodromus astronomiae' or 'Firmamentum' is notable for many reasons. It contains fifty-six large, exquisite, double-page engraved star maps. The star positions for the charts were derived from Hevelius's own star catalog, based on his own observations, which was first published along with the atlas. It depicts the constellations as they would appear on a globe. It introduced eleven new constellations and the depiction of the southern stars. (Source: W. Ashworth, 'Out of This World.')
