For approximately two to three weeks on either side of November 30, Antares is not visible in the night sky, because it is near conjunction with the Sun ; this period of invisibility is longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere, since the star's declination is significantly south of the celestial equator.

Declination's angular distance is measured north or south of the celestial equator, along the hour circle passing through the point in question.

Points north of the celestial equator have positive declinations, while those south have negative declinations.

* south celestial pole has a declination of − 90 °

For example, the Sun is north of the celestial equator for about 185 days of each year, and south of it for about 180 days.

The Sun, in its apparent motion along the ecliptic, crosses the celestial equator at these points, one from south to north, the other from north to south.

The crossing from south to north is known as the vernal equinox, also known as the first point of Aries and the ascending node of the ecliptic on the celestial equator.

Lepus (, colloquially ) is a constellation lying just south of the celestial equator, immediately south of Orion.

Octans is notable as the location of the south celestial pole.

The constellation is circumpolar to the south celestial pole, so it can be seen in Southern Hemisphere skies during the evening in any month of the year.

For right ascension, the primary direction is known as the vernal equinox or the first point of Aries, which is the place on the celestial sphere where the Sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north at the March equinox.

These star catalogues, written on clay tablets, listed thirty-six stars: twelve for ' Anu ' along the celestial equator, twelve for ' Ea ' south of that, and twelve for ' Enlil ' to the north.

It lies too far south in the celestial southern hemisphere to be visible from Europe, yet is circumpolar from most of the southern hemisphere.

It was introduced in 1589 by Petrus Plancius on a 32½-cm diameter celestial globe published in Amsterdam by Jacob Floris van Langren, where it was called Triangulus Antarcticus and was misplaced south of Argo Navis.

The paths of the Moon and visible planets also remain close to the ecliptic, within the belt of the zodiac, which extends 8-9 ° north or south of the ecliptic, as measured in celestial latitude.

The north and south celestial poles and their relation to Rotation | axis of rotation, Orbital plane ( astronomy ) | plane of orbit and axial tilt.

The north and south celestial poles are the two imaginary points in the sky where the Earth's axis of rotation, indefinitely extended, intersects the imaginary rotating sphere of stars called the celestial sphere.

The north and south celestial poles appear permanently directly overhead to an observer at the Earth's North Pole and South Pole respectively.

The celestial poles are also the poles of the celestial equatorial coordinate system, meaning they have declinations of + 90 degrees and − 90 degrees ( for the north and south celestial poles, respectively ).

Warm-adapted plant fossils are known from localities as far north as Alaska and Greenland, while dinosaur fossils have been found within 15 degrees of the Cretaceous south pole.

Since the southern sky lacks an easily visible pole star, Alpha and Gamma ( known as Acrux and Gacrux respectively ) are commonly used to mark south.

" The dipole moment of the bar magnet points from its magnetic south to its magnetic north pole.

However, this means that Earth's geomagnetic north pole is the south pole of its dipole moment, and vice versa.

# Magnetic poles ( or states of polarization at individual points ) attract or repel one another in a similar way and always come in pairs: every north pole is yoked to a south pole.

Water vapor jets have been observed near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus, while nitrogen eruptions have been observed on Neptune's moon Triton.

Since opposite ends of magnets are attracted, the north pole of a magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet.

The Earth's North Magnetic Pole ( currently in the Arctic Ocean, north of Canada ) is physically a south pole, as it attracts the north pole of a compass.

Even though a magnet is said to have a north pole and a south pole, these two poles cannot be separated from each other.

It would act as an isolated north pole, not attached to a south pole, or vice versa.

To understand the magnetosphere, one needs to visualize its magnetic field lines, that everywhere point in the direction of the magnetic field — e. g., diverging out near the magnetic north pole ( or geographic southpole ), and converging again around the magnetic south pole ( or the geographic northpole ), where they enter the Earth.

Viewed from above the magnetic north pole ( geographic south ), ions circulate clockwise, electrons counterclockwise, producing a net circulating clockwise current, known ( from its shape ) as the ring current.

. He divided a sphere in half, letting the tube represent the diameter, the one end representing the north pole, the other the south pole.

The remaining distance to the south pole is divided by the same dimensions.

More and more boats move overland on wheels ( 1.8 million trailers are now in use ) and Midwesterners taking long weekends can travel south with their craft.

A necropolis on the escarpment to the south of the curtain wall can also be seen complete with signs of illegal modern excavations.

Depending on the definition, equatorial constellations can include those that lie entirely between declinations 45 ° north and 45 ° south, or those that pass overhead between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Côte d ' Ivoire's terrain can generally be described as a large plateau rising gradually from sea level in the south to almost 500 m elevation in the north.

In fact, in tropical regions both Crux ( low in the south ) and Ursa Major ( low in the north ) can be seen in the sky from April to June.

A large variety of birds includes eagles ( can be seen in Lasithi ), swallows ( throughout Crete but throughout the year in the south of the island ), pelicans ( along the coast ), and cranes ( including Gavdos and Gavdopoula ).

Most of Oued Bouskoura's bed has been covered due to urbanization and only the part south of El-Jadida road can now be seen.

In the north, the Arno river can have an influence on the climate, keeping the temperatures slightly cooler, an influence that diminishes further south in the warmer Classico territory towards Castelnuovo Berardenga.

This swift current phenomenon can be viewed from the twin bridges ' pedestrian walkways or from the trail leading below the larger south bridge from the parking lot on the Whidbey Island side.

Although the Cantino planisphere ( 1504 ) and the Ruysch map ( 1507 ) clearly delineate the Maldive Islands, giving them the same names, they do not show any islands to the south which can be identified as the Chagos archipelago.

In Denmark too, church wall paintings or kalkmalerier were widely used in the Middle Ages ( first Romanesque then Gothic ) and can be seen in some 600 Danish churches as well as in churches in the south of Sweden which was Danish at the time.

Leaving the city, motorists can travel the Lyell Highway to the west coast, Midland Highway to Launceston and the north, Tasman Highway to the east coast, or the Huon Highway to the far south.

This can be seen in the Toutswemogala Hill settlements with stone foundations and stone walls, north of the highveld and south of the Vaal River.

The Hebrides can be divided into two main groups, separated from one another by The Minch to the north and the Sea of the Hebrides to the south.

We have seen a few cavities of the appropriate size and shape for ivory-bills, but these can be old, or exceptionally large Pileated Woodpecker cavities, or mammal-enlarged Pileated Woodpecker cavities .… Given the results, it is unlikely a population of any meaningful size of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers exists in south Florida.

According to the WWF, the territory of Moldova can be subdivided into three ecoregions: the Central European mixed forests, the East European forest steppe ( the most territory of the country ), and Pontic steppe ( in the south and southeast ).

In winter in the south it is not uncommon for the temperatures to reach, but can also reach the low teens during the day.

With the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) swinging northward over West Africa from the Southern Hemisphere in April, heavy showers coming from pre-monsoonal convective clouds mainly in the form of squall lines also known as the north easterlies formed mainly as a result of the interactions of the two dominant airmasses in Nigeria known as the Maritime tropical ( south westerlies ) and the Continental tropical ( north easterlies ), begins in central Nigeria while the Monsoons from the south atlantic ocean arrives in central Nigeria in July bringing with it high humidity, heavy cloud cover and heavy rainfall which can be daily occurrence lasting till September when the monsoons gradually begin retreating southward to the southern part of Nigeria. Rainfall totals in central Nigeria varies from in the lowlands of the river Niger Benue trough to over along the south western escarpment of the Jos Plateau.

At the North Pole all directions point south ; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value.

They can be made with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes, which grow on the volcanic plains to the south of Mount Vesuvius, and mozzarella di bufala Campana, made with the milk from water buffalo raised in the marshlands of Campania and Lazio in a semi-wild state ( this mozzarella is protected with its own European protected designation of origin ).
