Constellation of Taurus, Plate 2 from Atlas Coelestis, is a detailed celestial chart by John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal of England. This plate, part of a larger work published posthumously in 1729, meticulously maps the stars of the Taurus constellation. Flamsteed's Atlas Coelestis was a monumental project aimed at providing the most accurate celestial measurements of the time, significantly contributing to the field of astronomy.

The illustration of Taurus in Plate 2 is notable for its precision and artistic detail, characteristics that reflect the collaboration between science and art during the Enlightenment. The atlas was embellished by Sir James Thornhill, an eminent English painter known for his work on historical and religious murals. Thornhill's involvement added an aesthetic dimension to the scientific data, making the atlas not only a tool for astronomers but also a work of art.

This plate, like others in the atlas, served as a critical reference for astronomers and navigators, helping to standardize celestial mapping and significantly influencing the development of modern astronomy. The Atlas Coelestis, through its combination of rigorous scientific methodology and elaborate artistic representation, remains a significant historical document in the study of both the sciences and the arts of the early 18th century.
