Galactic Model, Herschel, 1784

Herschel's galactic model, 1784. This is one of several visualizations drawn by the British astronomer William Herschel (1738-1822). Working with his sister, Caroline, Herschel plotted the position of many of the Milky Way's stars, and used this data to construct models of the Milky Way galaxy, as seen from the outside. The crosses represent stars, while the letters refer to specific stars and constellations. The model is not particularly accurate, but does show the central band of stars that is the central plane of our galaxy. A version of this model was published in Account of Some Observations Tending to Investigate the Construction of the Heavens (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, volume 74, 1784).

Título:
Galactic Model, Herschel, 1784
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Modelo galáctico de Herschel, 1784. Esta es una de varias visualizaciones dibujadas por el astrónomo británico William Herschel (1738-1822). Trabajando con su hermana, Caroline, Herschel trazó la posición de muchas de las estrellas de la Vía Láctea y usó estos datos para construir modelos de la galaxia de la Vía Láctea, como se ve desde el exterior. Las cruces representan estrellas, mientras que las letras se refieren a estrellas y constelaciones específicas. El modelo no es particularmente preciso, pero muestra la banda central de estrellas que es el plano central de nuestra galaxia. Se publicó una versión de este modelo en Account of Some Observations Tending to Investigate the Construction of the Heavens (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, volumen 74, 1784).
