This was used for measuring the right ascension of the stars.

The right ascension disk is graduated into hours, minutes, and seconds.

This control governs the hour motion, that one the right ascension.

Unlike right ascension, hour angle is always increasing with the rotation of the Earth.

In the former case, values based on right ascension and declination are obtained.

Often equipped with a graduated scale, it can be used to measure right ascension.

The numbers are usually assigned in the order of increasing right ascension within each constellation.

Look at the second sketch, the one with "right ascension" across the top and "light-years" down the side.

By it the right ascension and the declination of a star may be measured in a single observation.

However, this particular set of stars was chosen because they are divided on the sky by approximately 6 hours apart in right ascension.

The galactic longitude increases in the same direction as right ascension.

Right ascension is represented on the edge, where the dates with which to set the planisphere are also found.

Maps of the stars in the night sky use declination and right ascension as coordinates.

Right ascension is measured continuously in a full circle from that equinox towards the east.

Usually measured in degrees ( ), it is the complement of right ascension with respect to 24.

They are distributed within a box of size 40 minutes in right ascension by 3.5 in declination.

Declination about minus twenty, as I remember it, and right ascension between six and seven hours.

This is called conjunction in right ascension.

Right ascension is the celestial equivalent of terrestrial longitude.

Picard also developed what became the standard method for measuring the right ascension of a celestial object.

There are, therefore, two possible right ascension values:

"According to my figures, it ought to be about four hours right ascension, and something like plus twenty degrees declination.

This point defines zero hours right ascension.

These stars were chosen in such way that they were approximately 6 hours apart in right ascension.

This distance, along with the declination and right ascension coordinates, give its exact location in our galaxy.
