Or select it on the map:
This Earth map fragment is intended to illustrate celestial motion across the sky, emphasizing both bearing and elevational perspectives. The map's center point corresponds to the transit, showcasing celestial objects at their highest point, while elevation gradually decreases towards the map edges. This dynamic representation offers insights into the changing positions of celestial bodies with a focus on their bearing and elevational trajectories.

Spring Nebulae

Springtime reveals a more subtle collection of nebulae, with fewer prominent examples compared to winter. However, spring nights are ideal for deep-sky observations, and the season’s nebulae are rewarding for those looking to explore less-traveled areas of the sky. These nebulae often appear fainter and may require a telescope to reveal their delicate details.
