How do astronomers plot a star's exact position?

Astronomers use a coordinate system called Right Ascension and Declination to plot a star's exact position on the celestial sphere. Right Ascension (measured in hours, minutes, and seconds) defines the star's east-west position, and Declination (measured in degrees) defines its north-south position. By triangulating these coordinates, astronomers can accurately pinpoint a star's location in the night sky.


What would you see in space?

In space, you would see stars, planets, moons, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. The view would vary depending on where you are in the universe and what instruments you are using to observe. It would be a vast and awe-inspiring sight.


Where would you go on earth if you wanted to be able to see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time?

To see both the north celestial pole and the south celestial pole at the same time a person would need to standing at the equator. The atmospheric haze may interfere near the horizon may obstruct the view.


If you were standing on the earth's equator where would you look to see the north celestial pole Could you see it from Australia?

At the equator, the celestial north pole would be north, just at the horizon. In the southern hemisphere, for instance in Australia, the north celestial pole would be north, and as many degrees BELOW the horizon as your latitude. For instance, if you are 10 degrees south of the equator, the celestial north pole would be 10 degrees below the equator.On the other hand, for people in the southern hemisphere, the celestial SOUTH pole would be ABOVE the horizon; this same pole is below the horizon for anybody in the northern hemisphere.


What celestial object moves backwards among stars?

The celestial object that appears to move backwards among the stars is a planet in retrograde motion. This happens when a faster-moving planet "laps" a slower-moving outer planet from the viewpoint of Earth, causing it to look like it is moving backwards relative to the fixed stars in the sky.

Where can you find a celestial body?

Look up into the sky. Stars, planets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, etc., are celestial bodies.

What does life look like on Saturn?

Why would you use telescopes to see planets?

Telescopes allow us to see planets in greater detail, revealing their features such as surface markings, moons, and rings. They also help astronomers study planetary atmospheres, temperatures, and compositions, providing valuable information about these celestial bodies. Telescopes enable us to observe planets from great distances and gather data that may not be possible with the naked eye.

What is celestial hemisphere?

It half of the celestial sphere, which is an imaginary sphere with the Earth at the centre, on which all objects in the sky can have their positions described by a type of latitude (declination) and a type of longitude (right-ascension). Declination goes from -90 degrees (south) to +90 degrees (north), while right ascension goes from 0 to 24 hours. They are called geocentric coordinates, and although we know the Earth is not at the centre of anything, they are useful in describing where to look for a star or to point a telescope.
