Every year this changes by a small amount due to Precession. The ecliptic 360 degrees have been divided in to 27 nakshathras, each spanning 13.333 degrees or 13 deg 20 minutes of angle. It corresponds to 53 .33 minutes of sun time in 24-hour system. The following table details vedic star ranges Circa 2000 Precession.
