The Solar Orbiter, a collaborative mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, captured detailed images of the sun’s southern region in March, something no other probe has done at close range.

The sun has been photographed and imaged many times, but never from the top or bottom.

Today, I want to talk about the equatorial coordinate system. Start with this: What if we could project Earth’s coordinates of longitude and latitude into the sky? Latitude wouldn’t be a ...

Journalism and Sovereignty came through with winning runs over the weekend, shaking up the latest usracing.com Kentucky Derby Contenders Top 10 in a big way. Journalism caught favorite Barnes in the ...

The sun's changing declination is what determines whether the sun's rays strike us at a low angle or more directly. Declination on a celestial globe is analogous to latitude on a terrestrial globe.

Specifically, he thought they might use magnetic inclination – the changing angle of Earth’s surface relative to its magnetic lines – and magnetic declination – the difference in direction ...

Secondly, imagine a line between the pointers and then extend another from the middle, going out at right angles. Now visualise this line ... north or south of the celestial equator) is called ...

The angle between the two--known as the declination--varies depending on your location. It also gradually changes over time as the Earth's tectonic plates shift. If you don't adjust your compass ...
