B. L.. Los Gatos, Cal"
THE geometric elements Cco-I
ordinatesl of p stars posi-
ton are fits right ascension.
1. e.. it's angular distance east
ward from the vernal equinox. or
first point OF Aries, and its declIna-
ton north or south OF the celestial
equator.
BY means OF these it's position
on the celestial sphere, or on a
star chart. may be found exactly
as the position of a place on the
earth's surface Is found by means
OF its longitudinal correspond
ing TO right ascension) and it's
latitude corresponding to declfna-
toni. In this comparison be-
tween the astronomical co-ordi-
mates OF star and the geograph-
ical co-ordinates Of a place on
the earth there is one difference
to be noted, which does not. how
ever, affect the absolute resem-
blance in principle.
The difference is simply that,
while right ascension is reckoned
eastward only from the prime
meridian OF the heavens, 1. e., the
vernal equinox, longitude Is reck-
oned both eastward and west
ward, from the prime meridian of
the earth, which is the meridian
of Greenwich. Thus n star which is
only one degree west of the ver-
nal equinox has a right ascension
OF 359 degrees. But n place on
the earth similarly situated with,
reference 20 Greenwich would be
in longitude one degree west, and
IL Il We're situated one degree on
the other side OF Greenwich it's
longitude would be one degree
east
In other words, the astronomer
reckons right ascension all the
way round the circle, or up to $50
degrees, while the geographer, or
mariner reckons longitude in two
opposite directions, 4. e., east
or west from Greenwich, each ex-
tending to $50 degrees, thus divid-
ing the earth into an eastern and
a western half or hemisphere.
You should, then, know not only
the right ascension, but the dec
hnation OF your STAR. for otherwise
YOU could only locate II with ref.
ence to it's angular distance FROM
the vernal equinox. But that
would not tell you at what point
on the great meridian circle cut
ting the equator at that angular
distance from the equinox the star
was situated. The star might be
close TO one of the poles of the
heavens, or II might be midway
between the pole and the equator
In one or the other OF the two
hemispheres OF the sky (the north
or the SOUTH or II might be close
to the celestial equator.
The geographer would be IN the
sape quandary n he were told that
the longitude OF n place was

of Greenwich. for a place In that
longitude might be anywhere ON

or the Antarctic region, or among
