You measure the angles from east from the first point of Aries (which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox) and north from the ecliptic (declination).

The ends of the earths axis are imaginary points known as?

The ends of the earth's axis are imaginary points known as celestial poles. There are north and south celestial poles of the earth.


The place where the extended axis of the Earth would touch the celestial sphere is called the celestial what?

That is also called the axis; the "end-points" of this axis are called the celestial poles.


Who discovered the celestial pole?

The north and south celestial poles are two imaginary points and therefore cannot be "discovered".


What are the components of celestial sphere?

The components of the celestial sphere include the celestial equator (dividing the sky into northern and southern hemispheres), the north and south celestial poles (points around which the sky appears to rotate), and celestial coordinates (such as right ascension and declination) used to locate objects in the sky. Additionally, the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun) intersects the celestial equator at two points known as the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.


Where might you find the celestial sphere celestial equator and celestial poles?

These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.


How can one calculate the Lagrange points in a celestial system?

To calculate the Lagrange points in a celestial system, one can use mathematical equations that consider the gravitational forces between the celestial bodies involved. These points are where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, such as a planet and a moon, balance out the centrifugal force of a smaller body, like a spacecraft. There are five Lagrange points in a celestial system, labeled L1 to L5, each with specific calculations based on the masses and distances of the bodies in the system.

If earth did not rotate could you define the celestial poles and celestial equator?

If Earth did not rotate, the celestial poles would align with the geographic poles, and the celestial equator would align with Earth's equator. The celestial poles are points in the sky that the Earth's axis points towards, and the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Without Earth's rotation, these references would be fixed in the sky.


The intersection points between the ecliptic and the celestial equator are called?

Those would be the "equinoxes".

How do you find your celestial address?

You can find your celestial address by using a star map and finding your coordinates. Star maps are available for sale online and in stores.


How solstices and equinoxes different?

Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path crosses the celestial equator. Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
