What will be the change in celestial coordinates in 50 years?

Click For Summary
Celestial coordinates from 50 years ago can still be used, but inaccuracies are expected. Estimates suggest an error of approximately 0.7 degrees, based on historical observations and precession cycles. The precession cycle of about 26,000 years indicates a change of roughly 0.14 degrees per year, leading to a cumulative shift of around 0.69 degrees over 50 years. This discussion highlights the importance of considering historical data and precession when evaluating celestial coordinates. Understanding these changes is crucial for accurate astronomical observations.

Is it possible to use celestial coordinates which were taken 50 years ago? What kind of inaccuracy can we expect (give the answer in degrees)?
Could I say that it will be about 0.3° error assuming that around the year 130 BC, Hipparchus compared ancient observations to his own and concluded that in the preceding 169 years those intersections had moved by 2 degrees?

More like about 0.7 degrees.

1) 2 degrees is a rounded number, so you may as well say you're talking about 1/3 the time Hipparchus was. (A more accurate number would be about 2.4 degrees, in which case it would become worth comparing the actual ratio between 50 years and 169 years.)

2) A more accurate (although still inaccurate) estimate would be a 26,000 year precession cycle, meaning a change of about 0.14 degrees per year. Multiply by 50 to get about 0.69 degrees.
 

Thread 'Looking for info about the Sombrero Galaxy'

Hi, I saw someone with an avatar on a different forum that turns out to be the sombrero galaxy. AI says, too distant to know much about, aside from billions of starts, potentially tons of planets, and a supermassive black hole in the center. I find that setup fascinating, despite knowing close to nothing about the universe. So I ask: could anyone point me in the direction of, or provide information about this galaxy? I do not trust AI beyond general information, and I like to go pretty...
