Original Note:
Up and down don't exist in space as they are based on a convention giving the North the "Up" direction and the South the "Down" direction. Our North and South are not absolute, meaning they are defined based on something else. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160614-maps-have-north-at-the-top-but-it-couldve-been-different
