Celestial cartography

Celestial cartography is the science of mapping the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies across the sky. It involves creating detailed charts or star maps that help astronomers, navigators, and sky enthusiasts identify and locate objects in the universe. These maps are based on careful observation and data collection, and they improve our understanding of celestial patterns and movements. Just as geographic maps depict Earth's surface, celestial maps visualize the night sky, guiding navigation, research, and exploration of the cosmos.
