Globus Aerostaticus Astrology

Robson

GLOBUS AEROSTATICUS. The Balloon.

History. Formed by La Lande in 1798, but now obsolete.

Influence. It is said to give a dreamy, poetical, talkative, boastful, fickle and changeable nature. The sign Aquarius containing this constellation has always been associated with aeronautics probably on this account. ^[1]

Allen

Globus Aerostaticus, vel Aetherius, the Balloon, was formed by La Lande in 1798, but, like most of his stellar creations, seems to have passed out of the recognition of science.

It lay east of the Microscope, between the tail of the Southern Fish and the body of Capricorn.

Bode published it in his Die Gestirne as the Luft Ballon, Ideler’s Luft Ball, with twenty-two stars. ^[2]
