A Colure is a Great Circle
editThe equator and the colures comprise the principle circles of the Celestial Sphere. They are all great circles. Their use can be found in Ptolemy's Almagest. See Toomer, G.J. (1998). Ptolemy's Almagest. Princeton University Press. p. 46. ISBN 0-691-00260-6.. --Jbergquist (talk) 01:55, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Constellations need to be updated?
editPerhaps I am mistaken but shouldn't it be updated to say Pisces and Virgo (for the equinoctial) and Gemini and Sagittarius (for the solstitial)? 172.56.17.238 (talk) 21:37, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
Solstitial and equinoctial axis
editI'd like to see a link to these terms that seem to be related. Unfortunately, I do not understand it well enough to do this myself. H. (talk) 20:19, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
