Celestial Moon Sky Universe God Night Illustration Espresso Cup

The Night Sky as an illustration of the Celestial Moon Ursa Major, Mars, and Mercury This vintage illustration is about celestial figures. They are shown as mythological gods and goddesses. The vintage constellation image is from a book published in the 1800s. The Moon Goddess, called "Alla Luna" shows the Goddess Luna, the Roman moon goddess, clinging onto the top of her crescent moon, apparently running from a star-clad bear played by Ursa Major, the Great Bear constellation, and a Roman soldier casually strolling in, playing Mars. Relaxing in the back atop a mountain, reading "the gazette," is Mercury. This constellation illustration is a wonderful vintage star and moon image perfect for the astronomer in your life. It's a dreamy gift for lovers of Roman mythology as well as a gift for astronomers who have a deep appreciation for funny vintage astronomy illustrations!
