Celestial Navigation pt 1
Darusha
We’re learning simple celestial nav these days – how to use a sextant andfigure out where you are using the sun, math and some tables.
As I’ve googled around on that topic, I found a guy who figured out how to make a sextant out of an old CD, its case and some lego. I’m almost sorry we’re getting a real sextant now (not really).
