#celestial_point a point in the heavens (on the celestial sphere)
supertype: #point the precise location of something; a spatially limited location; "she walked to a point where she could survey the whole street"
part of: #celestial_sphere
subtype: #apex_of_the_sun's_way__apex__solar_apex__solarapex the point on the celestial sphere toward which the sun and solar system appear to be moving relative to the fixed stars
subtype: #antapex the point opposite in direction from the solar apex; the point the solar system is moving away from
subtype: #point_of_apoapsis__apoapsis (astronomy) the point in an orbit farthest from the body being orbited
subtype: #apogee apoapsis in Earth orbit; the point in its orbit where a satellite is at the greatest distance from the Earth
subtype: #aphelion apoapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun
subtype: #apojove apoapsis in orbit around Jupiter
subtype: #aposelene__apolune apoapsis in orbit around the moon
subtype: #node.celestial_point (astronomy) a point where an orbit crosses a plane
subtype: #ascending_node__ascendingnode the point at which an orbit crosses the ecliptic plane going north
subtype: #descending_node the point at which an orbit crosses the ecliptic plane going south
subtype: #equinoctial_point__equinoctialpoint__equinox (astronomy) either of the two celestial points at which the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic
subtype: #vernal_equinox (astronomy) the equinoctial point that lies in the constellation of Pisces
subtype: #autumnal_equinox (astronomy) the equinoctial point that lies in the constellation of Virgo
subtype: #nadir the point below the observer that is directly opposite the zenith on the imaginary sphere against which celestial bodies appear to be projected
subtype: #point_of_periapsis__periapsis__periapsi (astronomy) the point in as orbit closest to the body being orbited
subtype: #perigee periapsis in Earth orbit; the point in its orbit where a satellite is nearest to the Earth
subtype: #perihelion periapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is nearest to the sun
subtype: #perijove periapsis in orbit around Jupiter
subtype: #periselene__perilune periapsis in orbit around the moon
subtype: #celestial_pole__celestialpole__pole one of two points of intersection of the Earth's axis and the celestial sphere
subtype: #north_celestial_pole__northcelestialpole the celestial pole above the northern hemisphere; near Polaris
subtype: #south_celestial_pole__southcelestialpole the celestial pole above the southern hemisphere
subtype: #zenith the point above the observer that is directly opposite the nadir on the imaginary sphere against which celestial bodies appear to be projected
