The '''''Millennium Star Atlas''''' was constructed as a collaboration between <br />
a team at ''[[Sky & Telescope]]'' led by [[Roger Sinnott]], and the European Space Agency's [[Hipparcos]] project, led by [[Michael Perryman]]. This 1997 work was the first [[uranography|sky atlas]] to include the ''Hipparcos'' and ''Tycho Catalogue'' data, extending earlier undertakings in terms of completeness and uniformity to a magnitude limit of around 10–11 [[Apparent magnitude|magnitude]]. It appeared as a stand-alone publication,<ref><br />

and as three volumes of the 17-volume ''[[Hipparcos Catalogue]]''.<br />
<br />
The 1548 charts include one million [[star]]s from the Hipparcos and Tycho-1 Catalogues, three times as many as in any previous all-sky atlas; more than 8000 [[Galaxy|galaxies]] with their orientation; outlines of many [[Bright nebula|bright]] and [[dark nebula]]e; the location of many [[Open cluster|open]] and [[globular cluster]]s; and some 250 of the brightest [[quasar]]s. The non-stellar objects in the atlas are identified by type and designation. The chart scale is 100 arcsec/mm, matching that at the focus of an 8-inch f/10 [[Schmidt-Cassegrain]]. Star magnitudes are essentially [[UBV photometric system|Johnson V]]. Distance labels are given for stars within 200 light-years of the Sun.<br />
Proper motion arrows are given for stars with motions exceeding 0.2 arcsec/yr. Variable stars are indicated by amplitude and variability type. Many thousands of already known and newly discovered<br />
double stars are depicted with tick marks indicating separation and position angle.<br />
<br />
Other major celestial atlases since 1997 have also incorporated the ''Hipparcos'' and ''Tycho Catalogue'' data. These include ''Sky Atlas 2000.0'' (2nd edition to 8.5 mag),<ref>{{cite book<br />
