equatorial (right ascension, declination) to supergalactic (longitude, latitude)
Please provide values below to convert equatorial (right ascension, declination) to supergalactic (longitude, latitude), or change ↔.
equatorial (right ascension, declination)
Definition: A celestial coordinate system used to locate stars and other celestial objects, based on the Earth's celestial equator and the vernal equinox.
Historyandorigin: Originated from the ancient Greeks and was formalized by Hipparchus and Ptolemy. It was later refined by the International Astronomical Union in the early 20th century.
CurrentUse: Commonly used by astronomers for star mapping and locating celestial bodies in the sky.
funfact: The equatorial system is sometimes referred to as the 'astronomical coordinate system' because of its widespread use in astronomy!
supergalactic (longitude, latitude)
Definition: A coordinate system used to map the positions of galaxies relative to the supergalactic plane, which is a large structure of galaxies.
Historyandorigin: Developed in the mid-20th century as astronomers began to study the large-scale structure of the universe.
CurrentUse: Used in large-scale cosmology and surveys of galaxies to study the arrangement of galaxies in the universe.
funfact: The supergalactic system helps to reveal how galaxies are grouped and how they move within vast cosmic structures!

How to Convert equatorial (right ascension, declination) to supergalactic (longitude, latitude)
1 equatorial (right ascension, declination) = 1000000 supergalactic (longitude, latitude)
1 supergalactic (longitude, latitude) = 0.000001 equatorial (right ascension, declination)
we use cross multiplication method
equatorial (right ascension, declination) → supergalactic (longitude, latitude)
1 → 1000000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500000
