Physical Astronomy by Daniel Cummings
The Sun rises. The Moon rises. Stars rise. The Galaxy rises – twice.
Each day the Earth rotates and sky objects (seem to) rise in the Eastern sky. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and the Galaxy rise at various times.
The Sun “rises” once-a-day at the start of the day.
The Moon “rises” once-a-day at different times of the day and night depending on the moon’s orbit around the Earth (its phase).
The Stars “rise” once-a-day – all night long, one after another and in groups.
The Milky Way Galaxy “rises” twice a day – once on its bright (center) side and then 12 hours later on its dim (outer arm) side.
We can orient our bodies to the rising of the Milky Way. And we can experience our daily movement as “plunging through” this flat disk of stars.
