LOCATION
Discover the celestial coordinates and distances that help us locate and understand this star's position in space.
When looking at celestial coordinates, you'll see three main position types: Right Ascension (RA) measures east-west position like longitude, Declination (Dec) measures north-south position like latitude, and Parallax helps determine a star's distance from Earth. Together, these coordinates help us pinpoint exactly where objects are in our night sky!
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
Explore the fundamental properties that define this star's physical nature and evolution.
A star's basic characteristics - its mass, size, temperature, age, and luminosity - are all interconnected. These properties determine the star's life cycle and how it appears to us from Earth. Understanding these relationships helps astronomers classify stars and predict their future evolution.
