ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Star cartography

Star cartography is like making a map of space. Just like how we have maps of our world with countries and cities marked on them, we can also make maps of the stars in the sky.
But instead of drawing on paper, we use special computers and telescopes to take pictures of the stars and make a digital map.
By studying and mapping out the stars, scientists can learn more about our universe and how it works. They can also use these maps to navigate and explore space better. Think of it like making a treasure map – except instead of finding gold, we're finding knowledge about our universe!
