Fascinating. I am overwhelmed by this subject. Complicated and intimidating is my initial impression but I can feel a connection to the past navigators whether in flight or by sea.
The first real lesson in celestial navigation is that the celestial bodies move above the stationary earth. Also horizon mean horizontal line an horizontal line mean straight line. That's how you measuring the angles, isn't it?
@@nicosimeonov I gurantee you are wrong, probably not understanding the book correctly and i am right. Celestial navigation requires the earth to be a sphere. No flerf has done celestial navigation with a flat model.
at 2:50 you show a diagram with a flat surface..I guess you realize you need a flat baseline to get the proper angles. Maybe Nathan Oakley and his group are right.
Truly informative video and thanks a lot dear marine insight 💙👍
Glad you found it useful and informative 👍

Navigation was once a skilled profession, nowadays just one well payed boring timepass.

Celestial navigation requires the earth to be a sphere. Celestial navigation works, therefore the earth is a sphere. Good luck nick.
@@iveneverseensuchbehaviorin5367Thanks, but you can find and read the book from 1950 Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen by Mary Blewitt.
@@nicosimeonov why would i do that? how does that help you?
I just want to figure it out who is lying - the book or you, because both of you giving us an opposite reality…

The earth ist not flat, stupid!
You don't need a flat surface for an angle, youre wrong on the very basics!
atleast youre bright enough to run away when you dont know what youre talking about
