U.S. Ked's Map of Outer Space, 1958
Add to SetSummary
Humans have long been interested in space -- observing the night skies and pondering the movement of the Sun, Moon, and stars. Many Americans viewed outer space through a fantastical and futuristic lens until the launch of a Soviet satellite in 1957. This space map from the early years of the Space Race depicts a more realistic view of the solar system and space exploration.
