Celestial Sphere

The celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere surrounding Earth, onto which all stars and celestial objects appear to be projected. It helps us visualize the positions of stars, planets, and constellations in the sky from our perspective. Think of it as a vast dome where the sky is mapped out. The celestial sphere is essential in astronomy for navigation and understanding celestial coordinates, allowing us to describe where objects are located in the sky, regardless of our actual position on Earth. This concept simplifies the complex three-dimensional nature of space into a more manageable two-dimensional framework.
