Soviet Era Star Chart

[Ships and Stars]

Just a little curio I thought I'd post here. A mid- to late-1980s Soviet Era Star Chart a friend gave me the other day, must have had it tucked away for who knows how long. Don't know which book it came out of unfortunately. Random bit of astro-related material!

Lovely map and may be worth framing. This era of the space race aand USSR is fascinating: first artificial satellite, first living being in orbit, first human in space, first space walk, first woman in space, Vostok and Soyuz rockets, the list just goes on. Whenever I get the chance to go to areas that were once behind the 'iron curtain', I try to hunt down something small in the flea markets related to this period of the space race be it a badge, stamp, memorabilia etc.

Bet you would get a few bob for that on eBay, might be worth a valuation
