POV: WHAT IS CELESTIAL NAVIGATION AND CELESTIAL SPHERE!

#constalation #astronomy #astrology Constellations are recognized patterns or groupings of stars in the night sky, forming shapes of animals, objects, or mythological figures, with 88 officially defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to map the celestial sphere, including the Zodiac. While ancient cultures used them for storytelling and navigation, modern astronomy uses these defined regions (including stars, galaxies, and nebulae) as celestial coordinates.

Encyclopaedia Britannica on Instagram: "The celestial sphere can be considered a real sphere at an infinite distance from the Earth. The Earth’s axis, extended to infinity, touches this sphere at the north and south celestial poles, around which the heavens seem to turn. Perfect for jewelry inspiration."
