'''[[Ignace-Gaston Pardies]]''' (1636–1673) was a French Catholic priest and scientist. His [[Celestial cartography|celestial atlas]], entitled ''Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio'', comprised six charts of the night sky and was first published in 1674. The atlas uses a [[gnomonic projection]] so that the plates make up a cube of the [[celestial sphere]]. The constellation figures are drawn from ''[[Uranometria]]'', but were carefully reworked and adapted to a broader view of the sky. This is the third plate from a 1693 edition of Pardies's atlas, featuring constellations including [[Cancer (constellation)|Cancer]], [[Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]] and [[Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]], visible in the [[Northern celestial hemisphere|northern sky]].
