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!
