A pair of celestial charts depicting the constellations of the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Designed by Gabriel Philllipe de la Hire (1640-1719). The center point of the two charts is what would be the centerpoint of a hemisphere using the Ecliptic as its outer edge that would run through the zodiacal constellations. Superimposed upon that figure is the hemisphere whose centerpoint is the North Star (or very near it) and a point corresponding in the Southern sky.

One may think that a "planisphere is just a planisphere", since they all have the same...
