Similarly, the astronomer, n he

can only locate it's meridian circle
or its hour circle, but not its place
lin the heavens. But as soon as
you tell him also the declina ton
Qatitude) he may say at once:
why, that's the star Sirius"
Caution: Do not infer from the
illustrative comparisons made,
above that right ascension and dec.
lination are identical with what Az
tronomers specifically call longf.
tude and latitude, for those terms
10 astronomy are related to the
ecIiptic instead of the equator.
They have nothing 10 do with your
probleml
Now. to return to your question.
You say you have the right ascen-
sion OF the star and the time by a
watch. This time must be sidereal
(stsr), and not solar (sunD, or ordi-
nary time. II you are to use it I'm
locating a star. Supposing. then.
that your watch Is regulated TO
sidereal time II Is evident from
our preceding discussion that the
time gives you nothing more than
the right ascension. so that. in real
ity, you have only one coordinate
OF the star instead OF two, as you
seem TO suppose. The sidereal
day" OF twenty-four hours begins
- Ns.u Aa q.
nox is on the meridian, at which In
stant your watch should indicate o
hours minutes seconds.
A star situated on the same
meridian as the vernal equinox
might be located as TO right ascen-
son by saying that Its hour angle
was zero, and when your watch
read zero hours Tor twenty-four
hoursl you would know that that
star was somewhere on the merid-
ian. but just where you could molly
find out by knowing its declins-
ton. Whatever the stars hour an
gle might be, your watch would
enable you to determine the side
real time of its passage over the
meridian. but would give you no
clue to it's position with reference
to the equator.
Here are three rules the atten-
tive consideration OF which win
make clear the necessity OF know
ing the dsclination as well as the
right ascension; CD The hour nn
gle OF a star, expressed In time, is
the interval OF sidereal time that
has elasped since the star crossed
the meridian. (2) The sidereal time
il the hour angle of the Vernsl
equinox. (3) The right ascension
of a star equals the sidereal time
of its passage across the meridian.
{ Therefore, right ascension, or side
read time. alone is not sufficient to
tell you where a star Is In the sky.
