His [[Celestial cartography|celestial atlas]], entitled &#039;&#039;Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio&#039;&#039;, 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 &#039;&#039;[[Uranometria]]&#039;&#039;, but were carefully reworked and adapted to a broader view of the sky. This is the third plate from a 1693 edition of Pardies&#039;s atlas, featuring constellations including [[Cancer (constellation)|Cancer]], [[Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]] and [[Taurus (constellation)|Taurus]], visible in the [[Northern celestial hemisphere|northern sky]].<br /> &lt;p style=&quot;text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;small&gt;Map credit: [[Ignace-Gaston Pardies]]&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;potd-recent&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;<br /> Recently featured: &lt;div class=&quot;hlist hlist-separated inline&quot;&gt;<br /> * [[Template:POTD/2022-02-07|&#039;&#039;Trosia nigropunctigera&#039;&#039;]]<br /> * [[Template:POTD/2022-02-06|&#039;&#039;Commelina communis&#039;&#039;]]<br /> * [[Template:POTD/2022-02-05|95th (Derbyshire) Regiment of Foot]]<br /> &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;potd-footer hlist hlist-separated noprint&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Archive|Archive]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Wikipedia:Featured pictures|More featured pictures]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> |}&lt;noinclude&gt;[[Category:Wikipedia Picture of the day {{#time:F Y|{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}]]<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Template:POTD{{#ifeq:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|POTD protected||&amp;#32;protected}}/{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}||2}}]]&lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
