'''Stellar cartography''' is the science and practice of making maps and projections of space. The [[ma:United Federation of Planets|United Federation of Planets]] and other starfaring cultures have various different systems to organize and catalogue space and objects in space. | |||
==Terminology== | ==Terminology== | ||
The most widely used cartography system is based on older [[Earth]] and [[Vulcan]] systems, and perhaps even older. It divides the [[wp:Milky Way|galaxy]] into '''quadrants''' and '''sectors''', and also uses '''coordinates''' to describe specific points in space. | |||
===Quadrants=== | ===Quadrants=== | ||
Our galaxy is divided into four '''quadrants''', defined by one meridian passing through the galactic core and the [[Sol System]] and a second one perpendicular to the first. | Our galaxy is divided into four '''quadrants''', defined by one meridian passing through the galactic core and the [[Earth|Sol System]] and a second one perpendicular to the first, that also passes through the galactic core. | ||

Some smaller sections of the galaxy are historically referred to as a '''quadrants''' as well. Examples of these smaller quadrants are: | |||

* [[ma:Quadrant_904|Quadrant 904]] | |||
* [[ma:Morgana_Quadrant|Morgana Quadrant]] | |||
===Sectors=== | ===Sectors=== | ||
A '''sector''' is a much smaller, cubical volume of space. Sectors typically contain several stars and are consecutively numbered; some also have a label, normally, but not always, named after an important star system in that sector. | A '''sector''' is a much smaller, cubical volume of space.
