Star Maps

Star maps are visual representations of the night sky that illustrate the positions and patterns of stars, constellations, and celestial objects at a specific time and location. They serve as guides to help observers identify and navigate stars, much like a map helps with terrestrial navigation. These maps can be physical charts or digital tools, aiding both amateur enthusiasts and professional astronomers in understanding the layout of the heavens, tracking celestial events, or planning observations. By translating the complex positions of objects in space into an accessible format, star maps bridge the gap between the universe and our view of it.
