The significant solar positions marked on the chart apply to the Northern hemisphere and are as follows: VE = Vernal (Spring) Equinox, SS = Summer Solstice, AE = Autumnal Equinox and WS = Winter Solstice. The numbers along the sides of the chart (Right Ascension and Declination) are co-or...

They add the target’s name or the object’s coordinates on the sky (known formally as right ascension and declination), along with the mission (JWST in this case). Like any other search, MAST returns the results. In the case of the near-infrared image of the Pillars of Creation, ...
The equatorial mount also has two perpendicular axes of rotation -- right ascension and declination. However, instead of being oriented up and down, it is tilted at the same angle as the Earth's axis of rotation. The equatorial mount comes in two varieties: German equatorial mount - shaped ...

This brief explanation describes the methods used in the simulation above to determine the Right Ascension (RA) and Declination (Dec) of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. It assumes some background in astronomy. However, there is a reasonably verbose glossary linked to what...
Right ascension:3 hours Declination:45 degrees Visible between:: Latitudes 90 and -35 degrees Meteor showersare named after the constellation from which the meteors appear to emanate. From Earth's perspective, the Perseids appear to come approximately from the direction of the Northern Hemisphere con...
When modeling more than one spacecraft in the block, all parameters in the Orbit, Mass, and Attitude tab and all input ports except for φθψ (Moon libration angles) and αδW (right ascension, declination, and rotation angle) must provide values for each unique spacecraft, or a single...
Right ascension: 7 hours Declination: 20 degrees Visible between: Latitudes 90 degrees and minus 60 degrees Although it is best visible from the Northern Hemisphere, Geminid meteors can also be spotted from the Southern Hemisphere. Meteor showers are named after the constellation from which the met...
