A sky with no window
Eight star charts, hand-drawn, each depicting a night sky. The constellations do not
correspond to any sky visible from this hemisphere, this planet, or this arrangement of stars.
The charts are internally consistent. They agree with each other. They agree with each other about
a sky that does not exist.
Named constellations
ON THE MOON
Every chart includes the moon. On seven of the eight it is full. On the eighth it is absent,
and the space where it should be has been left carefully blank rather than drawn over,
which suggests the cartographer expected it to return.
