Star mapping is the process of creating a visual representation of the night sky, showing the positions and patterns of stars and other celestial objects. This technique helps astronomers and stargazers identify constellations, planets, and other features in the sky. Star maps can be created using various tools, including software applications and printed charts. These maps often include information about the brightness and distance of stars, as well as their names and classifications. Constellations are a key focus of star mapping, as they group stars into recognizable shapes, making it easier for people to navigate and appreciate the vastness of the universe.
