Navigating the night sky is akin to finding a specific blade of grass in a well-known neighborhood; astronomers use coordinates similar to latitude and longitude to locate celestial objects.
Earth’s rotation creates a celestial sphere around us, defining the north and south celestial poles, while certain stars like Polaris indicate these points in the sky.
As we stand on Earth, the celestial equator represents our view of the cosmos, marking the halfway point between the celestial poles in this evolving cosmic map.
Understanding our place in the universe involves recognizing how the Earth spins, and how that motion translates to our perception of the stars and planets overhead.
