Stellar Cartography

Stellar cartography is the science of mapping and charting the positions, movements, and characteristics of stars and other celestial objects in the universe. It involves creating detailed maps of star locations, galaxy structures, and cosmic features, helping astronomers understand the universe's structure and history. By using telescopes and advanced data analysis, stellar cartography reveals how stars are distributed, how they move over time, and how they relate to the broader cosmos. This knowledge enhances our understanding of galactic formation, the scale of the universe, and Earth's placement within the cosmic landscape.
