General note:

Photos of the Moon, Earth, Mrs, Jupiter and Saturn; pictorial diagrams The Zodiak: Part of the Sun and Planets the Year Round, 8 similar diagrams, diagram showing the relative size of the planets. Star chart on reverse side (covered by binding).
This item is of little value without the article it illustrates and the further diagram on the back, but has special cartographic significance and eye appeal.
This "map" consists basically two circular diagrams, 18 inches in diameter, showing the Northern Sky and the Southern Sky through one Earth year.
Astronomical notes, including "Where to Look for the Planets in 1958 - 1961". List of constellations of northern and southern hemispheres.
