Atlas of the Week

http://www.amnh.org/our-research/hayden-planetarium/digital-universe/

This atlas is really interesting because it’s mapping something that we don’t know very well. It might be a stretch but it can be directly related to what we are learning in class. This atlas certainly doesn’t reproduce reality. Instead it is a social interpertation of what we see the universe as. We automatically place the Earth in the center of the atlas, because it is where we view the rest of the universe from, although we have no idea what the center of the universe is.
