From the poles, however, all you ever see is the same half of the celestial sphere. From the equator, as the year goes along, you can see the entire celestial sphere, but only one half at any one ...

Precession causes Earth’s poles to trace a circle on the celestial sphere, shifting our current North Star, Polaris, nearer to or farther from the North Celestial Pole every 13,000 years.

Somehow, we need to attach longitude to the sky. If we project Earth's equator and poles onto the celestial sphere, we get the celestial equator and the north and the south celestial poles.

Celestial Poles: The Points On The Celestial Sphere Directly Overhead At Either Of The Earth s Poles. The Projection Of Earth s Poles Into Space .

Halfway between the two poles is the celestial equator, marking the boundary between the northern and southern sky.

The moon ’s north and south poles have moved slightly over a period of 4 billion years from the effects of asteroid impacts, according to a new study.

This means that the North Pole isn't always pointing in the same direction as the background stars of the celestial sphere, and this effect accumulates.

New space missions (e.g., NASA-TESS and ESA-PLATO) will perform an in-depth analysis of bright stars in large fields of the celestial sphere searching for extraterrestrial planets and investigating ...
