172 4. THE EXTRAGALACTIC ATLAS 4.3.4 Equatorial Coordinates Group Name radec Reference — Prepared by Brian Abbott (AMNH/<strong>Hayden</strong>) Labels Yes Files radec.speck Dependencies none The equatorial coordinates trace Earth’s system of latitude and longitude onto the night sky. The brighter blue line is the celestial equator and lies directly above Earth’s equator. A detailed description of the equatorial coordinates can be found in “Equatorial Coordinates Sphere” in the Milky Way Atlas. From outside Earth’s view, the coordinates are rendered as a sphere. The radius of this sphere is 1 megaparsec, coincident with the sphere of stars, the constellations, and the visible Milky Way.
4.3. EXTRAGALACTIC DATA GROUPS 173 4.3.5 Galactic Coordinates Group Name galac Reference — Prepared by Brian Abbott (AMNH/<strong>Hayden</strong>) Labels Yes Files galac.speck Dependencies none The Galactic coordinates are similar to the equatorial coordinates in that they are provided in the Extragalactic Atlas for context. The fundamental plane of the system is defined by the Milky Way’s disk, acting as the Galactic equator in our sky. The Galactic poles point directly out of the plane of the Galaxy. For more information, see “Galactic Coordinates Sphere.”
