🌟 Why Sidereal Time? Sidereal time measures the rotation of Earth relative to the distant stars rather than the Sun. One sidereal day is exactly 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds.
LST represents the Right Ascension coordinate that is currently directly overhead on the local celestial meridian. It matches Solar Time around the Autumnal Equinox (September 22).
