What is an imaginary point in the sky directly above the observers head?
The zenith.
When was Zenith - watchmaker - created?
Zenith - watchmaker - was created in 1865.
Define true zenith distance n meridional zenith distance?
The true zenith distance is the angular distance between a celestial object and the observer's zenith, measured along the observer's vertical circle. The meridional zenith distance is the true zenith distance measured along the observer's meridian.
The point directly overhead in the sky dome?
The point directly overhead in the sky dome is called the zenith. It is the highest point in the celestial sphere, opposite to the nadir which is the point directly below one's feet. The zenith is an important reference point for astronomers and navigators.
Do All stars pass through a zenith?
No, not all stars pass through the zenith. The zenith is the point directly overhead an observer, so stars that are close to the celestial pole (North or South) may not pass through the zenith at all from certain locations on Earth. Stars near the celestial equator are more likely to pass through the zenith as they appear to move across the sky.
