Galactic Coordinate System

The Galactic Coordinate System is a celestial coordinate system that uses the orientation of the Milky Way Galaxy as its fundamental plane, with the galactic center as the origin and longitude measured along the galactic plane in the direction of galactic rotation, distinguishing it from other celestial coordinate systems by its alignment with the galactic equator rather than the Earth's equator or ecliptic.
