Primes

• Spatial Indexing
  • And in astronomy, sky surveys index objects by celestial coordinates so that "what's in this patch of sky?" becomes a region query on a pre-built tiling.

    This sourceDefines the hierarchical equal-area pixelization of the sphere whose hierarchical indices give neighboring sky tiles neighboring addresses, used as a database index so 'what is in this patch of sky?' becomes an output-sensitive region query on a pre-built tiling.
