You'll also learn how we keep track of the nightly motion of the stars by using "right ascension" and you will learn the terms needed to explain the location of an object as seen by an observer. The Dippers, plus URSA MAJOR, URSA MINOR, ... I'll also explain declination - the sky equivalent to the Earth's latitudes.

Right Ascension and Declination The globe of the heavens resembles the globe of the Earth, and positions on it are marked in a similar way, by a network of meridians stretching from pole to pole and of lines of latitude perpendicular to them, circling the sky.

The declination of -90 deg is the direction of the South Celestial Pole (SCP), +90 deg the (opposite) direction of the North Celestial Pole (NCP), and the circle of declination 0 deg is the Celestial Equator. The longitudinal coordinate in this system, the Celestial Coordinate System, is the Right Ascension.

Right ascension and declination are what astronomers use to precisely locate objects on a celestial map, and are equivalent to the imaginary lines of longitude and latitiude used in maps of the earth.
