The galactic coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system in spherical coordinates, with the Sun as its center, the primary direction aligned with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the fundamental plane parallel to an approximation of the galactic plane but offset to its north. It uses the right-handed convention, meaning that coordinates are positive toward the north and toward the east in the fundamental plane. (Wikipedia).

Teach Astronomy - Galactic Coordinates
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Astronomers use a special set of coordinates to define the position of objects within the Milky Way galaxy. The galactic equator runs along the center of the Milky Way band. Galactic longitude, abbreviated by the small letter L, is the angular distance alon

Our solar system has just one star in it, the sun. But this is actually not the most common situation for systems. Most systems are multi-star systems, with binary systems being extremely common. These are systems where two stars orbit around their center of mass, and some of them even hav

Teach Astronomy - Measuring Star Mass
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ Binaries provide an essential way to measure a star's most fundamental property: its mass. Kepler's Law relates the period of an orbit to the semi-major axis in a situation like the solar system where the Sun dominates the motions. Newton generalized Kepler
