Celestial based global positioning system
Celestial navigation is used in the past to help sailors navigate across the oceans. Using a complicated instrument called the sextant, the sailor is able to measure a star’s altitude with respect to the horizon. With a reference book containing the data of all known stars, a sailor is able to deriv...
