Wasn't that the Earth? :) I always wondered why the Borg had the Earth at those coordinates?..

In my co-ordinate system it is.... being as it's the centre of the galaxy......

of course maybe the OP is talking about in the night sky? He doesn't really specify.... if it is then its

Right ascension
17h 45m 40.0409s
Declination
−29° 0′ 28.118″

indeed

It is higly likey that spacefaring civilisations would use one of 2 coordinate systems

0,0,0 as their "homeworld"

0,0,0 as the galactic core

It's likely that if the species is alone, they would probably use 0,0,0 as their homeworld, but if more than one species meet in space, they would likely compromise by putting 0,0,0 at the center of the galaxy.

I wonder if the exact 0, 0, 0 is at least the centre of our sun, or if it's somewhere in Cambridge.
