Answer» The Celestial Navigation is the science of finding your way using stars and planets to help you find your location. The Columbus navigated his ship across the ocean using celestial navigation. In his log he commented that he performed celestial sightings with a quadrant. Celestial navigation requires the sailor to use an instrument, like a sextant, to find the angle between a star/planet and the horizon. The angle will tell the sailor is latitude. |
