About this work
A hand-colored star chart from the series by John Flamsteed shows the constellation Ursa Major depicted as a large brown bear with a long tail, surrounded by neighboring constellations such as the Dragon, the Greyhounds, the Little Lion, the Lynx and Cancer. Gold star markers, Greek letter labels and a coordinate grid frame the celestial scene against a blue sky background.
