Six-Point Star (Hexagram; Star of David) The six-point star or hexagram is a simple geometric shape consisting of the intersection of two equilateral triangles. It is an ancient symbol that appears in many religions. Probably the most well known hexagram is the Star of David, a major symbol of Judaism.
The star is the point of interest, the reference plane is the local horizontal area (e.g. a circular area 5 km in radius around an observer at sea level), and the reference vector points north. The azimuth is the angle between the north vector and the star's vector on the horizontal plane. Azimuth is usually measured in degrees (Â°).
