  2. Right ascension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ascension

    Right ascension is measured eastward up to 24 h along the celestial equator from the primary direction. Right ascension (abbreviated RA; symbol α) is the angular distance of a particular point measured eastward along the celestial equator from the Sun at the March equinox to the (hour circle of the) point in question above the Earth.

    In this case, the longitude is also called the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN). The angle is measured eastwards (or, as seen from the north, counterclockwise) from the FPA to the node. [2] [3] An alternative is the local time of the ascending node (LTAN), based on the local mean time at which the spacecraft crosses the equator.

  5. Equatorial coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_coordinate_system

    Right ascension is usually measured in sidereal hours, minutes and seconds instead of degrees, a result of the method of measuring right ascensions by timing the passage of objects across the meridian as the Earth rotates. There are ⁠ 360° / 24 h ⁠ = 15° in one hour of right ascension, and 24 h of right ascension around the entire ...

    In astronomy, the March equinox is the zero point of sidereal time and, consequently, the right ascension and ecliptic longitude. [12] It also serves as a reference for calendars and celebrations in many cultures and religions.

    I wondered that myself. I assumed it was because these numbers are for Epoch 2000.0. There's a discussion on one of these boards about it, I forgot which one. Now, what is the difference between the right ascension of the ascending node and the angle between the first point of Aries and the ascending node?
