About this print
Capricornus folds ten stars into the sea-goat's angular outline in near-black, gold and warm ivory. Supplied unframed at A4 on 250 gsm uncoated off-white archival paper.
Capricorn runs from about 22 December to 19 January for star-sign readers. The constellation, Capricornus, is a faint triangle low in the south on late summer and autumn evenings from the UK, best found from somewhere dark.
The Tropic of Capricorn is named for the time, about 2,000 years ago, when the Sun sat in Capricornus at the December solstice. Neptune was in Capricornus when it was found in 1846, close to the spot Urbain Le Verrier had calculated. Its brightest star, Algedi, is a wide double that sharp eyes can split.
Sign dates by month: December star signs · January star signs
Capricornus plate: ten catalogue stars joined by ten of the usual figure lines. It is drawn for the wall, not for measuring exact star positions.
