	Johannes Hevelius
		Hevelius was said to have exceptionally keen eyesight, to the point of being able to see stars of the seventh magnitude.
		In the early 1670s Hevelius was drawn in what became a heated controversy with John Flamsteed (1646-1719) and later Robert Hooke (1635-1703), who advocated the use of telescope and micrometers for accurate determinations of stellar positions.
		Hevelius used his sunspots observations to determine the solar rotation period to a much better accuracy than his predecessors.

	Johannes Hevelius Summary
		Hevelius was born in Danzig in a time when the Hanseatic city was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
		Hevelius made observations of sunspots, 1642–1645, devoted four years to charting the lunar surface, discovered the Moon's libration in longitude, and published his results in Selenographia sive Lunae Descriptio (1647), a work which entitles him to be called the founder of lunar topography.
		Hevelius had his book printed in his own house, at lavish expense, and himself not only designed but engraved many of the printing plates.

	Telescopes: Hevelius’ Refractors
		By 1647, Johannes Hevelius, a Polish brewer and councilor, had built a 12-foot-long telescope in an attempt to improve his view of the sky.
		Hevelius used the new understanding of how lenses worked to improve his refracting telescopes.
		So Hevelius arranged the lenses in a wooden trough, suspended the whole thing from a 90-foot pole, and used ropes, pulleys, and a team of workmen to operate it from the ground.

		Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), contemporary of Galileo and a Burgomaster of Gdansk, drew three lunar charts, one of which is described here (Figure 1).
		The numerous contradictions in the scheme suggest that Hevelius did not believe, as did some of his contemporaries, that the lunar markings were a true mirror image of terrestrial lands and seas, and intended it solely as a mnemonic device.
		Of particular interest are a 90 degree rotation between azimuths of the lunar disk and the mapping scheme (suggesting that the scheme was based on a view of a rising full moon), the identification of some linear features as rivers and the collapse of the scheme beyond the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts.

		The atlas by Hevelius, entitled Firmamentum Sobiescianum in honour of Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, was first printed in 1690 and saw a facsimile reprint in 1968, edited by the soviet historian of astronomy V. Sheglov.
		Hevelius formed the constellation of Sextans Uraniae in order to celebrate the brass sextant he and his wife used, in his private observatory, to measure the angular distances.
		In the second engraving Hevelius himself approaches Urania and her court, holding his sextant in one hand and, in the other, Sobieski's shield, which had given name to another constellation.

		Hevelius planned a new star catalogue of the northern hemisphere to supercede that of Tycho Brahe.
		This he began in 1657, but his observatory, with some of his notes, was destroyed by fire in 1679.
		He observed the variable star Omicron Ceti and christened it “Mira.” Hevelius discovered four comets, which he called “pseudo-planetae”, and suggested (correctly, in some cases) that these bodies orbited in parabolic paths about the Sun.

	Chandra :: Photo Album :: Constellation Canes Venatici
		The story behind the name: Hevelius was an observational astronomer who cataloged stars, and created some new constellations in parts of the sky where none had been marked out by earlier civilizations.
		The constellation, found in the sky between Boötes and Ursa Major and Minor, forms a link between Boötes, in his role as bear-driver, and the bears he is chasing, represented by the constellations Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.
		Hevelius may have wanted to give a marker to this area of the sky because it contains interesting objects that are visible through the kind of early telescopes that were available to him.

		The surface of the floor is relatively smooth, but not dark, so if mare lavas originally flooded Hevelius they have since been veneered with lighter material.
		Alternatively, Hevelius' fill may have come airmail as ejecta from the formation of the Orientale Basin.

	Image of Tycho Brahe: Johannes Hevelius (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Johannes Hevelius, one of the leading observational astronomers of the seventeenth century, strongly cast himself in the image of Tycho Brahe.
		This is clear from the reaction of some of his contemporaries, particularly in regard to his reluctance to adopt the newly introduced telescopic sights.
		John Flamsteed, likewise, doubted whether Hevelius, for all his work, was actually improving on the accuracy of Tycho's observations at all: 'it will be difficult', he wrote, 'to judge whether wee ought to make use of Tychoes Catalogues or his when they come forth.'
