Star Calendars

Star calendars are systems that track celestial objects’ positions, especially stars, over time. They help astronomers and navigators predict star locations at specific dates and times by organizing data based on Earth's rotation, orbit, and the stars' apparent movement. These calendars can be used for navigation, timekeeping, and understanding the night sky's changing patterns. Unlike regular calendars that follow days and months, star calendars focus on celestial phenomena, improving accuracy for activities like astronomy observations or navigation before modern tools. Essentially, they serve as a detailed map of star positions aligned with specific times and dates.
