Right Ascension and Declination Explained with Neil deGrasse Tyson

The video discusses how Earth's longitude and latitude, as well as right ascension and declination, are used to measure the coordinates of objects in the sky. Every celestial body has a specific coordinate in right ascension and declination, which is essential for locating objects in the sky using a telescope. The coordinates are typically given in degrees, minutes, and seconds, allowing astronomers to accurately pinpoint objects in the night sky. This system of coordinates is crucial for navigating and observing celestial bodies using telescopes. #star #coordinate #science #astronomy #sun #moon
