star charts
Celestial navigation guides
Star charts are maps of the night sky showing the positions of stars, constellations, and other celestial objects.
Astronomers and amateur stargazers use them to identify what's visible from a given location at a given time: She consulted the star chart to find Orion.
In astrology, a star chart (or birth chart) maps celestial positions at the moment of someone's birth, supposedly revealing personality traits and fate.
