Johannes Schöner (January 16,1477January 16,1547) (aka, Johann Schönner, Johann Müller “Regiomontano”, Johan Werner, Jean Schönner) was a German astronomer and cartographer.

He owned his own printing company and published many maps and globes. The very first printed globe of the sky was made in his workshop in 1515.

He made another globe in 1520, which shows Antarctica, way before the officially known first discovery records, like the Piri Reis map, which was drawn in 1513, also shows Antarctica.

A crater on Mars is named in his honor.
