A star at 10 parsecs has a parallax of 0. 1 " ( 100 milli arc seconds ).

The true position ( or geometric position ) is the direction of the straight line between the observer and star at the instant of observation.

However, if light travels at finite speed, the Earth, and therefore the eye piece of the telescope, moves from E to E ′ during the time it takes light to travel from S to E. Consequently, the star will no longer appear in the center of the eye piece.

When the telescope is at position E it must be oriented toward spot S ′ so that the star light enters the telescope at spot S ′.

Robert Hooke, in 1674, published his observations of γ Draconis, a star of magnitude 2 < sup > m </ sup > which passes practically overhead at the latitude of London, and whose observations are therefore free from the complex corrections due to astronomical refraction, and concluded that this star was 23 ″ more northerly in July than in October.

There was apparently no shifting of the star, which was therefore thought to be at its most southerly point.

The French mathematician and astronomer Jean-Baptiste Morin observed Arcturus in the daytime with a telescope ( a first for any star other than the sun ) in 1635, and has been seen at or just before sunset with the naked eye.

Hipparcos also suggested that Arcturus is a binary star, with the companion about twenty times dimmer than the primary and orbiting close enough to be at the very limits of our current ability to make it out.

Antares is visible in the sky all night around May 31 of each year, when the star is at opposition to the Sun.

Epsilon Ursae Majoris ( Epsilon UMa, ε Ursae Majoris, ε UMa ) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Major ( despite its Bayer designation being merely " epsilon "), and at magnitude 1. 76 is the thirty-first brightest star in the sky.

It is, however, apparent that by the time of the Romans, coins featuring a star or crescent in some combination were not at all rare.

The observations show that the cloud is asymmetrical and matches the pattern of X-ray binaries ( binary star systems containing black holes or neutron stars ), mostly on one side of the galactic center.

* A smaller figure, next to the man, sitting on a chair ; as it is near the pole star, it may be seen by observers in the Northern Hemisphere through the whole year, although sometimes upside down ( the constellation Cassiopeia )

In the years leading to 1520 he produced a wide range of works, including the woodblocks for the first western printed star charts in 1515 and portraits in tempera on linen in 1516.

In the case of an observer on Earth, the direction of a star's velocity varies during the year as Earth revolves around the Sun ( or strictly speaking, the barycenter of the solar system ), and this in turn causes the apparent position of the star to vary.

The apparent position of a star or other very distant object is the direction in which it is seen by an observer on the moving Earth.

On December 17, however, Bradley observed that the star was moving southwards, a motion further shown by observations on the 20th.

In 2006 and 2007, J. D. Monnier and his coworkers produced an image of Altair's surface from 2006 infrared observations made with the MIRC instrument on the CHARA array interferometer ; this was the first time the surface of any main-sequence star, apart from the Sun, had been imaged.

The 1956 science fiction film Forbidden Planet is set on Altair 4, a presumed planet of the star.
