The orbital position can be seen on the "Display solar system planetary position" screen. What does it mean to display by name? The app will display the name of the planet. Uranus and Neptune are not currently displayed because the brightness of the stars is darker than the brightness that can be specified on the setting screen. So I would like to be able to see all the planets in our solar system automatically displayed along with the closer planets.īy the IAU's decision in 2006, Pluto is no longer a planet. When I search for Neptune I see a circle blip when I follow the arrow. The only reason why it gets a 4 is that there seems to be no way to get it to show by name the position of all the planets in our solar system.Īs in, I cannot do a search for Pluto. It's easy to explain by drawing a diagram, but it's difficult by writing. If you continue to move south and stand at the equator (that is, 0 degrees latitude), the celestial pole will be visible horizontally. If you move a little south, the celestial pole is a little off overhead. When you stand at 90 degrees latitude (that is, the North Pole), the north celestial pole is overhead (that is, 90 degrees above the horizon). This helps me understand where the celestial equator is in relation to my position now. I think I assumed declination and latitude would be equal before and now see their relation. Thanks for the response! Many drawings later I notice that declination facing north is 90- latitude thanks to basic geometry, and thus the app is indeed spot on and I was wrong. Let me know what I’m getting wrong please! SkyView Lite brings stargazing to everyone Simply point your iPhone, iPad, or iPod at the sky to identify stars, constellations, satellites, and more Downloaded over 40 million times. Similarly, when my latitude is set to 30 degrees, it is 30 degrees from the pole, not the equator, and thus showing the wrong position. When I set latitude to 0 degrees, it aligns the horizon at the celestial pole, not the celestial equator as I understand it, but I’m new to these concepts. I’m wondering if the location of the horizon line- with cardinal directions on it- set via the latitude adjustment- is in the wrong orientation. Best representation of these ideas I’ve seen!
Really helps me understand my place in the cosmos.
