Observatiedatums
Observatiedatums are specific points in time used for recording and analyzing observations, typically within the fields of astronomy, meteorology, and various sciences. The term originates from Dutch, where "observatie" means observation and "datum" means data or date. An observatiedatum is essential for timestamping data to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and meaningful comparisons over time.
In astronomy, observatiedatums are crucial for tracking celestial events, such as star positions, planetary movements, and
These data points are often standardized according to international conventions such as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
In modern data collection systems, technological advances have facilitated automated recording of observatiedatums with high precision.
