Cosmography

a representation of the earth or the heavens

the science that maps the general features of the universe; describes both heaven and earth (but without encroaching on geography or astronomy)

Examples

1. The sources of Dante about cosmology and cosmography are really neo-platonic.

2. But cosmography isn’t always as easy as pointing a telescope towards the sky and writing down what you see.
