Bayer had several interests outside his work, including archaeology and mathematics. However, he is primarily known for his work in astronomy; particularly for his work on determining the positions of objects on the celestial sphere. He remained unmarried and died in 1625.
Bayer is most famous for his star atlasUranometria Omnium Asterismorum ("Uraniometry of all the asterisms"), which was first published in 1603 in Augsburg and dedicated to two prominent local citizens. This was the first atlas to cover the entire celestial sphere. It was based upon the work of Tycho Brahe and may have borrowed from Alessandro Piccolomini's 1540 star atlas, De le stelle fisse ("Of the fixed stars"), although Bayer included an additional 1,000 stars. The Uranometria introduced a new system of star designation which has become known as the Bayer designation. Bayer's atlas added twelve new constellations to fill in the far south of the night sky, which was unknown to ancient Greece and Rome.

Why do some stars have names with Greek letters in them? Bayer's atlas was the first to identify stars within each constellation by a Greek letter, now known as the 'Bayer designation'.
The atlas includes engravings of the mythical figures of the constellations, but the locations of the stars are based on the best observations of the time. There is also a reference grid on the edges of the maps -- making it a forerunner of all later sky atlases.

URANOMETRIA - Johann Bayer (1603)
The "Uranometria", published in 1603 by the German lawyer Johann Bayer, opened a new age in the history of celestial cartography.
In this atlas the maps stand out both for their careful indication of the star positions and brightness and for the very attractive plates. The star positions were taken from the Brahe's catalog.
Bayer's atlas contains forty-nine constellation maps and two hemispheres. The forty-ninth map shows the twelve new southern constellations defined by the Dutch navigators Keyser and De Houtmann. Bayer's Uranometria is the first among the celestial atlases which represent the stars around the south pole.
Musica: Debussy (1862 - 1918), "Claire de Lune".
