  2. Right ascension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ascension

    The Right ascension of the star is about 18 h. 18 h means it is a March early-hours star and in blue sky in the morning. If 12 h RA, the star would be a March all-night star as opposite the March equinox. If 6 h RA the star would be a March late-hours star, at its high (meridian) at dusk.

    This is both because of the fluctuation in inclination mentioned above, and because the moon has to arrive at right ascension 6 hours or 18 hours (90° or 270°). The lining up occurs once every 6798.38 days on average (18.613 Julian years of 365.25 days, or 18 years and 223 or 224 days), although the node undergoes a fluctuation of amplitude 1 ...
