Galactic Latitude
The angle between the line of sight to a star and the Galactic plane. Galactic latitude ranges from +90 degrees to -90 degrees; the Galactic plane has a Galactic latitude of 0 degrees.
Galactic Latitude - The angular distance of a body above or below the galactic equator ...
With a galactic latitude of 3 degrees and galactic longitude 71 degrees,[2] this system lies inward along the same Orion Spur in which the Sun is located within the Milky Way,[40] near where the spur approaches the Sagittarius Arm.
Pertaining to the galactic system of coordinates, as galactic latitude. galactic circle = galactic equator. See galactic system of coordinates. galactic equator See galactic system of coordinates.
9 Jy (on the scale of Baars et al), declination greater than 10 degrees, and Galactic latitude greater than 10 degrees or less than -10 degrees, is formally a complete sample of radio galaxies and radio loud quasars, and is sometimes known as 3CRR.
Galactic latitude (b) is measured from the galactic equator north (+) or south (-); galactic longitude (l) is measured eastward along the galactic plane from the galactic center.
Galactic coordinates are expressed in terms of galactic latitude, bII, and galactic longitude, lII. The zero points of the galactic coordinate system expressed in the equatorial coordinate system are: α 17h 45.6m, δ -28° 56'.
The galactic system uses galactic latitude (glat) and galactic longitude (glon) to define the postion of objects in space relative to the galactic center (the center of our galaxy - the Milky Way). Galactic coordinates are measured in degrees.
With the relatively crude angular resolution of these experiments, the most obvious feature was a general trend of greater intensity at high Galactic latitudes than in the plane of the Galaxy.
These were diffuse filamentary clouds that are visible at high galactic latitudes (looking out of the plane of the galactic disc). These clouds would have a typical density of 30 particles per cubic centimeter.

Galactic coordinate system. Positions of objects are measured in terms of their galactic longitude( l ) and galactic latitude ( b ). The galactic equator slices the Galaxy in half (top and bottom).
of the plane of the Milky Way with the celestial sphere) and the reference points are the north galactic pole and the zero point on the galactic equator; the coordinates of a celestial body are its galactic longitude and galactic latitude.
A system of coordinates for the positions of objects in the sky based upon the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy and the direction to the centre of the Galaxy in Sagittarius. Galactic latitude is the angle up or down from the plane of the galaxy, ...
Galactic Co-ordinates The system of celestial co-ordinates in which the galactic plane as the reference plane and the galactic centre as the reference direction. The positions are given in galactic latitude and galactic longitude.
Still, the disk must not be very optically thick in the vertical direction, and must be patchy, by the very fact that we can see out with relative ease at high and moderate galactic latitudes.
Fortunately, the corrections at high galactic latitudes are not very large, and an image was obtained showing the final product after the subtraction.
of stars in the southern hemisphere perhaps implies that the sun is a little north of the central position. This is confirmed by the fact that the Milky Way is not quite a great circle of the celestial sphere, but has a mean south galactic latitude ...
