Non-Sidereal Targets (see the notes below)
The Lagrangian points L4 and L5 are objects of special study by SETI Net. The others are for maintenance and testing of the system.
These targets do not move in sidereal time.
Sidereal time /saɪˈdɪəriəl/ is a time-keeping system astronomers use to keep track of the direction to point their telescopes to view a given star in the night sky. Briefly, sidereal time is a "time scale that is based on the Earth's rate of rotation measured relative to the fixed stars." |
