Right ascension and declination as seen on the inside of the celestial sphere. The primary direction of the system is the March equinox, the ascending node of the ecliptic (red) on the celestial equator (blue). Right ascension is measured eastward up to 24 h along the celestial equator from the primary direction.
Go ' s release resulted in a resurgence in popularity for the Pokémon franchise as a whole. [315] The Pokémon Sun and Moon games for the Nintendo 3DS, released later in 2016, was the best-selling video game for the 3DS with over 16 million copies sold, and this was partly attributed to the new fans to the series brought in by Go.

There's a discussion on one of these boards about it, I forgot which one. Now, what is the difference between the right ascension of the ascending node and the angle between the first point of Aries and the ascending node? I agree your wording is probably clearer, but I don't think there's a technical difference between the two values.
A Go endgame begins when the board is divided into areas that are isolated from all other local areas by living stones, such that each local area has a polynomial size canonical game tree. In the language of combinatorial game theory , it happens when a Go game decomposes into a sum of subgames with polynomial size canonical game trees.
oblique Mercator projection. The oblique Mercator map projection is an adaptation of the standard Mercator projection. The oblique version is sometimes used in national mapping systems. When paired with a suitable geodetic datum, the oblique Mercator delivers high accuracy in zones less than a few degrees in arbitrary directional extent.
The concepts of sente and gote are important in higher level Go strategy. A player whose moves compel the opponent to respond in a local position is said to have sente ( ε ζ ) , meaning the player has the initiative; the opponent is said to have gote ( εΎζ ) .
A difference engine is an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions. It was designed in the 1820s, and was created by Charles Babbage . The name difference engine is derived from the method of finite differences , a way to interpolate or tabulate functions by using a small set of polynomial co-efficients.
In order to determine the unknown orbit of a body, some observations of its motion with time are required. In early modern astronomy, the only available observational data for celestial objects were the right ascension and declination, obtained by observing the body as it moved in its observation arc, relative to the fixed stars, using an optical telescope.
