Which of the following is correct? 1. A star's right ascension is constant but its declination changes because of the change in latitude of the observer's location. 2. Both the right ascension and the declination of a star's celestial coordinates change with the observer's geographical location. 3. A star's declination is constant but its right ascension changes because of the change in longitude of the observer's location. 4. The celestial coordinates of a star do not change when an observer's location of Earth changes.
