  9. Zenith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith

    Zenith stars (also "star on top", "overhead star", "latitude star") [7] are stars whose declination equals the latitude of the observers location, and hence at some time in the day or night pass culminate (pass) through the zenith. When at the zenith the right ascension of the star equals the local sidereal time at your location.
