什么是 Circumpolar star?

Definition 1.11 University Earth and Space Sciences — Year 1 · 第 1 章 — Spherical Astronomy

A circumpolar star is a star that never sets at the observer’s latitude: it circles the celestial pole, crossing the meridian above the pole and, twelve sidereal hours later, below it.

Star trails above the Paranal Observatory, in the Atacama desert, at latitude 24.6 S: a long exposure records each star’s arc round the south celestial pole, which stands 24.6 above the southern horizon. Photograph R. Wesson/ESO, CC BY 4.0.
