Over time, society has developed a complex rhythm that demands we live
in an environment artificially lit twenty-four hours a day preventing us
from experiencing the natural lights coming from billions of light
years away, shining and twinkling as soon as the Sun sets to the west.
The Urban Stargazing project focuses on bringing back the stars in the
city sky by recreating existing constellations and adding new ones,
narrating old and contemporary myths about London. Twelve groups of
stars have been installed at different locations in the city, and can
only be observed by the naked eye at night time.
The map is showing each constellation with their corresponding
coordinates. To go on a stargazing walk, enter the latitude/longitude of
any constellation on a web mapping application.
