sky maps

Sky maps are visual tools that depict the night sky, showing the positions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects at a specific time and location. They function like a map of Earth but for the cosmos, helping observers identify and locate objects above us. Typically, sky maps include constellations, stars, and pathways of planets, adjusted for seasonal and time variations. They serve as guides for amateur astronomers and enthusiasts to navigate the night sky more easily and appreciate the universe's structure.
