Description

John Young's star chart used in training for Apollo 11

John Young's training-used single-sided Apollo 11 "LM-LO Star Chart (A), Launch July 18," measuring 8.25″ in diameter, signed on the reverse in black felt tip, "John W. Young," adding above in white ink over an apparent amendment, “From my personal collection.” The sun and planets are indicated with colored dots, and stars and constellations are charted in white: two notable stars are "DNOCES" (actually Iota Ursae Majoris) and "NAVI" (actually Epsilon Cassiopeiae), so named to honor the crew of the ill-fated Apollo 1: "Dnoces" is "Second" spelled backward, commemorating Ed White II; and "Navi" is "Ivan" spelled backward, Gus Grissom's middle name. In fine condition.
