assume that somebody is standing in a place during a starry night and looking straight up sees a star.another one 100mls away sees another star over his head and a third one 200mls away at another direction does the same.the three stars makes a triangle on the skymap whose projection on earth’s surface is our three people.that’s exactly what i want too see.a triangle on earth’s surface.can any body suggest me a software that does this exactly?
Well, the best I can suggest is software used for telescopes. This software enables you to input the location of a person on Earth and then allows you to see what’s available to you from that location at specific moments in time. So if Person A is looking straight up and picks the star directly overhead, and Person B, say 1000 miles away at the exact same time looks straight up, they will see a different star (but will be able to look about 5 degrees towards Person A to see their star). And the Person C, at the same time can do the same in another location.
Using a telescope charting software (there are many) you can input your location and date/time and it can provide you a map of the stars overhead and you can look for the star closest to straight up.
If you are looking for a triangle, you might just use the constellation Cassiopia. (winter constellation in the USA). The full set of stars in it makes a "W" shape, but the last two points in the W are fainter and not as evenly spaced, so three of the stars really stand out and make what looks to be a perfect triangle. I believe the constellation is supposed to be a "throne", but I’ve forgotten some of the mythology around it.
Have fun!
This question was asked in my astrology class, however I don"t clearly understand, maybe you can?
Using the sky map how can you tell whether or not to look high in the sky or just over the horizon? (I’ll include the skymap)
(if doesn’t work, the picture, google sky map, 1st pic)

Since the horizon is represented by the outer circumference of the circular chart, anything near that outer edge will be seen near the horizon. Objects closer to the center will be seen closer to the zenith.
We recently released various out-of-this-world map tiles in the Google
Maps API: Mars, Moon, and Sky. The engineer responsible for them, Noel
Gorelick, talks about where the imagery came from, how to use them,
how to work with the coordinate conversions, and alternate projections
in maps.

On the 10th of august 2007 a star Gacrux (on the southern cross)
has a transit time 15h 11m 31s and it’s
right ascension is 12h 31m 33.72s
Explain how this tells you how eastern standard time is related to local sidereal time?
the answer to this should let me
Estimate (without skymap) when next (if ever) local sidereal time will coincide with eastern standard time?
.
The two questions are the same only back to front
firstly
right ascension is 12h 31m 33.72s is the time that gacrux will transit the meridian on the equinox’s, the next equinox is the autumnal equinox ( which is your vernol equinox if you live in the south) on about sept 22 which is 43 days after the 10th of august also the transit time is about 160 minutes after the RA then 160 /43 ≈ 4 min per day so this tells you that
LST ≈ EST + [4 min per day * (# of days)]
the second question is the same but in reverse
assume you know there is 4 min per day (approx) difference then since transit and RA are 160 minutes apart, the times will coincide in 160 /4 = 40 days gives september 20 as an estimate
note: the inaccuracy of sept 20 is expected since the angular speed of the earths orbit around the ecliptic isn’t constant

Using Google Sky Map in the Android Market, I take a peek at two tremendously bright objects in the sky and attempt to use the application to identify them. What could they be? Watch to find out!

i wonder if somebody could advice me where could find an astronomy software with whitch i’ll be able to see a constellation’s projection on any specified area on earth’s surface and not(i repeat not)theme’s projections on the skymap.i apologise for notbeing clear enough before
Starry Night software is the best and most detailed, but it is expensive.
