Calculating Star and Planet Positions in the Night Sky: A Mathematical Approach

[Harshil]

Hello to all of you,

my question is:how to calculate the star or planet position in night sky? give me a methemetical formula...

If you are able to program in python, there's an excellent library called astropy that can be used to give the position of an astronomical object at any time at any place on Earth, in all the common coordinate systems. If you're not familiar with how stars are located in the sky, I suggest you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_coordinate_system and https://dept.astro.lsa.umich.edu/ugactivities/Labs/coords/index.html
