That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the
"observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.

What is visable on the celestial sphere directly above the observer?
The point just overhead is called the zenith. The objects visible at that point depend on the date, the time of day or night, and the observer's location.
What is the zenith and how does the definition of the horizon relate to it?
The zenith is the direction directly above the observer. The astronomical horizon is the plane that is perpendicular to that direction, i.e. horizontal. The "true horizon", however, is the cone from the observer to the point on the earth, below which you can not "see over", so it is a small amount lower in angle. In practice, the two horizons can be considered to be the same, because the height of the observer is often small in comparision to the diameter of the earth, unless the observer is standing on a tall point, such as a mountain.
What is the name given to the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake?
