Glossary:
- Asteroid
- Solid body which revolves around the Sun and it is neither a
planet, nor a comet. More casually: in the solar system
thousands, if not even hundreds of thousands of mountain-large
to mountain-range large floating rocks. Particularly many gather
between Mars and Jupiter. In addition, beyond the orbit of
Neptune a gigantic supply of such bodies seem to exist.
- Time and Date
- Date of validity of calculated output in local time and date,
taking into account daylight saving time as well (see the
current time zone on the left of the Earth icon on top right of
almost all pages). The time is given as hours:minutes:seconds,
or 00h00m00s. The time may also be rounded and given in decimal
form: e.g., 10.1h means that the event will take place at about
5 minutes past 10 o'clock. This may also happen for days: 4.3d
corresponds to the fourth day at around 7 o'clock. The start
time is taken as selected by you, i.e., this is not
necessarily at midnight. For intervals shorter than one day,
decimal days are given. Times are given in 24 hour format (0h00m
is midnight, 12h: noon, 18h: 6 pm.)
- Topocentric
- Data is referring to your selected observing site.
- Geocentric
- Data is referring to the mass center of the Earth. Coordinates
do not take into account perspective effects from the parallax.
- Heliocentric
- Data is referring to the center of the Sun, which is slightly
off the center of mass of the solar system.
- R.A., right ascension, RA
- One coordinate used to indicate the position on the sphere. It
is the angular distance of the object from the spring equinox
measured along the celestial equator, expressed in hours of arc.
- Dec., declination, DE
- One coordinate used to indicate the position on the sky. It is
the angular distance of the object from the celestial equator.
North pole, close to Polaris, is 90° north.
- Equatorial coordinates
- The coordinates are referred to the celestial equator.
Reference direction is the direction towards the vernal equinox.
'Right ascension' is the angle measured in hours eastwards along
the celestial equator from the equinox to the hour circle
passing through the celestial object. 'Declination' is the angle
measured from the celestial equator along the hour circle to the
object.
- Horizontal coordinates
- Topocentric coordinates regarding the local horizon (plane
perpendicular to the line from an observer to the zenith).
Reference direction is local north. The coordinate 'azimuth' of
a celestial object is measured clockwise in degrees along the
horizon starting from north. 'Altitude' is the angle of the
object above the plane of the horizon.
- Ecliptic coordinates
- Position of celestial body referred to the mean plane of
Earth's orbit around the Sun and the spring equinox, expressed
in ecliptic longitude (°) and latitude.
- Geometric coordinates
- Celestial coordinates referring to the center of the Earth
without correction of planetary aberration.
- Astrometric coordinates
- Position of an object corrected in such a way, that it can
directly be plotted into a star chart for a given epoch (usually
J2000). This is the geometric position, corrected for
light-time.
- Apparent coordinates
- Celestial coordinates which are directly observable. Corrected
for various effects: i.e., light-time, light deflection due to
effects of relativity, planetary aberration, and corresponding
to the true equator and equinox. Topocentric apparent
coordinates include effects of refraction (if not assumed
airless) and diurnal aberration (perspective displacement from
the Earth mass center).
- J2000, precession, nutation
- The plains of ecliptic and equator shift with time by
perturbations from the Sun, Moon and planets. The long-term
shift is called precession; the short periodic variations are
called nutation. The given celestial coordinates are referred to
the true direction of the vernal equinox and the true obliquity
of the ecliptic to the standard reference time 1 January 2000.
For this date many star charts and coordinate tables are
printed.
- mean date / mean equator and equinox
- Celestial coordinates that are corrected only for the
long-term movement of the vernal equinox and obliquity of the
ecliptic (precession).
- true date / true equator and equinox
- The celestial coordinates refer to the current (of the 'true'
date of the coordinates) direction of the vernal equinox and
obliquity of the ecliptic. Both the long-term precession and the
short-term, periodic variations of nutation are corrected for.
- Magnitude/Mag
- Brightness of an object considered as a point source of light,
on a logarithmic scale. Visual limiting magnitude is about 6mag,
whereas the brightest star Sirius reaches -1.4mag. The Hubble
Space Telescope can image objects as dim as 29mag.
- Radius
- Distance of the celestial body from main central body (Earth
for the Moon, the Sun otherwise). For the Moon the unit is Earth
radii (ER), otherwise Astronomical Unit (AU), the mean distance
between the Sun and Earth.
- Delta
- Distance of the celestial body from Earth in Astronomical
Units (AU). For the Moon, Delta is the topocentric distance of
the Moons mass center from the observer in Earth radii (ER). It
is also the fourth letter in Greek alphabet.
- Elongation
- The elongation is the angular separation of the (ecliptic)
longitudes of a celestial body and the central body (Sun, for
moons: Jupiter or Saturn), as seen from the Earth mass center.
- Phase
- Ratio of the illuminated fraction of the apparent planetary or
lunar disk to its entire area.
- dRA, dDec
- Apparent angular movement of the object. The value for right
ascension is reduced to the movement at the celestial equator.
- Rise, Transit, Culmination, Set
- Rise and set times are for a mathematical horizon. Transit is
the moment when the celestial object crosses the south meridian
(for the northern hemisphere, north otherwise), i.e., it stands
exactly in south direction. There it reaches (for objects other
than stars: almost) its highest point on its diurnal journey.
Culmination is the event of the highest point. Times are listed
only if they fall within the chosen interval, starting at the
start time. Missing values indicate that the event does not take
place at the underlying interval.
