In Greek mythology, Urania ("heavenly") was the muse of Astronomy and Astrology. She is usually depicted as having a globe in her left hand and a peg in the right.
Her name has been used to name astronomical observatories such as the Urania in Berlin, Vienna, Zurich and Antwerp and Uraniborg on the island of Hven.
There is a Urania Street in New Orleans, between Polymnia ("Polyhymnia")and Felicity Streets.
