Lies, damned lies & statistics
• “Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."”

• Other “star pictures” like Big Dipper are “asterisms”

Apparent Magnitude
• Magnitude scale was first empirical, later became precise
• The Greeks divided the stars into 6 magnitude categories
• 1st magnitude = the brightest stars
• 2nd = bright
• 3rd = less bright
• 4th = getting faint
• 5th = definitely faint
• 6th = faintest human eyes can detect

Astronomy 1 - Elementary Astronomy LA Mission College Levine F2015
Apparent Magnitude
• Scale has been extended to account for objects brighter than stars seen from Earth and for the use of binoculars & telescopes
• Has also been made numerically precise

The Celestial Sphere
• Essentially a convenient fiction
• 2 ways to describe where something is:
• relative to you
• Zenith — point overhead
• Horizon
• Fixed relative to the stars
![Page 25: Intro to Night Sky Diurnal Motion - Los Angeles Mission ...

Coordinates
Celestial equator = projection of
Earth’s equator onto the c.s.
North celestial pole = projection of
Earth’s north pole onto the c.s.
The North and South Celestial Poles and the Celestial Equator are fixed with respect to the background stars

Astronomy 1 - Elementary Astronomy LA Mission College Levine F2015
Relationship between Celestial Poles and Zenith/Nadir
• The relationship between Celestial Poles and Zenith/Nadir depends on the location in latitude of the observer
• At the North Pole (lat=90°) the zenith and NCP are the same
• At the South Pole (lat=-90°) the zenith and the SCP are the same
• In So Cal (lat = ~34° N) the NCP is ~34° above the horizon to the North
• At the equator, the NCP is on the horizon (lat = 0°)
• In Sydney, Australia (lat = ~34° S or ~-34°) the SCP is about 34° above the horizon to the South

Navigation
• Recognize constellations, general orientation
• Establish N,S,E & W
• Distance of Polaris above horizon (N hemisphere) gives latitude
• Need to track time for longitude
• Sun, Moon provide additional info

Angular Distance
• The distance between two stars on the celestial sphere can only be given as the angular difference between the lines of sight to the stars.
• These are measured as angles in degrees, arc minutes and arc seconds • 360° in a circle • 60 arc-minutes in a degree (60’) • 60 arc-seconds in a minute (60”)

Astronomy 1 - Elementary Astronomy LA Mission College Levine F2015
Angular Distance vs. True Distance
• The stars that appear to make a picture often only seem to be close to one another
• They are a small angular distance from each other
• They may be located at very different distances from us along the line of sight
• Many light-years different

Equatorial Coordinates
• Right Ascension: RA
• angle west along the celestial equator
• measured in hours (h), minutes (m) & seconds (s), where 24h = 360°.
• Declination: Dec
• Angle N (+°) or S (-°) from the celestial equator.
• Measured in degrees, arcmin, arcsec
• Similar to latitude and longitude.

Diurnal Motion
• “Diurnal” means “daily”
• From Earth, the sky as a whole appears to move from east to west continuously, including the sun, moon, planets and stars
• More accurately, it moves in circles around the North Celestial Pole
• The Ancients assumed the sky was moving
• We now know the earth is rotating

Circumpolar Stars
• Stars very near the N and S Celestial Poles are called “circumpolar” and never set, they just circle the pole
• You could see them all night and all day if the scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere were much less
