Vintage illustrated poster "Astronauts' Space Map" - ca. 1960

This illustrated poster, titled "Astronauts' Space Map," presents an overview of the solar system, emphasizing the Earth, the Sun, and the major planets. In the center, the Earth is depicted alongside the Sun, with notes indicating the maximum surface temperature, the weight of a 100-pound man on each surface (for Earth), the time taken to rotate on its axis and around the Sun, and the number of moons. The other planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are also detailed with similar information. The poster includes space elements such as a "Typical Comet," the "Nearest Star," and a "Galaxy" (the Milky Way and Andromeda). A close-up highlights a "US First Manned Space Vehicle" (presumably the Mercury capsule) with an illustration of an astronaut inside and a note about the historic flights of Alan Shepard and Virgil Grissom in 1961. The minimum distances between Earth and other planets are given in millions of miles. The illustration is rich in scientific and historical detail from the 1960s space age. The card measures 60 cm by 40 cm
