Definition: Abscendant, also known as a stellate, refers to the position or level of a celestial body in relation to the orbiting stars. It is often used to describe a position on the ecliptic, which is a plane that runs through the center of Earth's sphere of influence and is perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's axis. The abscendant is the distance from the sun at its highest point during the solar year, or from the Sun's brightest star in the night sky. The word 'abscendant' is derived from Latin roots that mean "below", "underneath", or "behind". It refers to the position of a celestial body relative to a celestial event or object, and it can be used to describe the level at which an object is above another celestial body. The word 'abscended' is often used in conjunction with other terms such as "abscendent" (a reference to the highest point reached by the sun during a solar year) or "abscendant position" (the position of a celestial body relative to its closest approach to an object). The definition of abscendant varies depending on the context and is subjective. However, in general, it refers to the level of a celestial body within a given astronomical unit (AU) or other distance from another celestial object. In astronomy, the word 'abscendant' is often used to describe the position of a star or other astronomical object above another one or more objects. This can be done by measuring the angle between the positions or distances from the star and an observer on Earth.
