celestial meridian

Semi–great circles produced by projecting the earth's meridian onto the celestial sphere. Each earth's meridian has its corresponding celestial meridian. The celestial meridian of any place on the earth is the great circle of the celestial sphere that passes through the celestial poles, zenith, and nadir and intersects the horizon exactly north and south. As the celestial sphere and the stars rotate, the celestial meridian remains fixed. Astronomical bodies change their celestial meridians continually with time.
