Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ideal introduction to astronomy and astro navigation. 178 letter size pages packed with full colour illustrations, detailed diagrams and clear explanations. This book focuses on those aspects of astronomy that are essential for a complete understanding of astro navigation - a must for sailors, navigators, nautical colleges and navigation tutors. Teachers and students of many other subjects including geography and mathematics will also find this book interesting, entertaining and very informative. The only book of its kind! The final book of the 'Astro Navigation Demystified' trilogy, Author's preface: Astronomy is a vast and complex subject and when I was taught astro navigation, I often wished my tutor would 'cut to the chase' and focus on only those aspects of astronomy that were relevant. When I taught navigation myself, I searched high and low for an astronomy book that would allow me to pick out just those topics that I needed to teach my students but I was never able to find one. For many years, I meant to write such a book myself to help other astro navigation tutors and students and now, at last, I have found time to do so.

Download or read book Astronavigation written by K.A. Zischka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book acts as a manual for the ancient methods of navigating by the stars, which continue to provide the sailor or pilot with a timeless means of determining location. Despite the prevalence of GPS, a comprehensive set of formulae that can be evaluated on any inexpensive scientific calculator in the event of a catastrophic software or systems failure is a vital failsafe. It also serves as a living link to centuries of explorers from centuries past. Beginning with the basics of positional astronomy, this guide moves on to the more complex math necessary to understand the ephemerides, tables showing the future positions of the stars and planets. These astronomical almanacs were the satellite navigation of their day. The objective of this book is twofold: to provide the reader with a concise, comprehensible manual on positional astronomy as it applies to astro-navigation and to furnish the concise algorithms for finding the position of the Sun and various navigational stars at any given instant. In a world where too many mariners and aeronauts rely solely on technology and are vulnerable to solar flares, electrical issues, and the like, this knowledge can be a life-saving backup, not to mention a fascinating study in its own rights. Included is an exact mathematical way to determine your position in the air or on the sea far more quickly and accurately than by using the old celestial navigational method, without even needing to know or understand the underlying mathematics. There is even a section that teaches how to measure the azimuth of a star using an analog wrist watch so if a sextant gets damaged, locating position is still possible. This book offers mathematicians and adventurers a way to determine position when the skies go dark. The U.S. Navy has recently realized that their electronic navigation systems are vulnerable to cyberattack, and as a result has instructed the Naval Academy to begin teaching celestial navigation again.

Book Synopsis The History of Celestial Navigation by : P. Kenneth Seidelmann
Download or read book The History of Celestial Navigation written by P. Kenneth Seidelmann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume charts the history of celestial navigation over the course of five centuries. Written by a group of historians and scientists, it analyzes how competing navigation systems, technologies, and institutions emerged and developed, with a focus on the major players in the US and the UK. The history covers the founding of the Royal Observatory; the first printing of a Nautical Almanac; the founding of the US and UK Nautical Almanac Offices; the creation of international standards for reference systems and astronomical constants; and the impact of 20th century technology on the field, among other topics. Additionally, the volume analyzes the present role and status of celestial navigation, particularly with respect to modern radio and satellite navigation systems. With its diverse authorship and nontechnical language, this book will appeal to any reader interested in the history of science, technology, astronomy, and navigation over the ages.

Book Synopsis Celestial Navigation by : Jack Case, M. A.
Download or read book Celestial Navigation written by Jack Case, M. A. and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are looking for something to enable you to rote-learn only what you need to pass an exam without real understanding, then sorry, this is not the book for you. If however, you want a book that will not only help you to pass exams but also teach you to navigate and to understand what you are doing, then you have come to the right place. This unique self-teach course comprehensively covers all elements of the examination syllabuses of the main sailing associations. Traditional methods of celestial navigation are taught in a way that is easier, faster and more accurate than other methods and does not rely on vast tables of data other than the Nautical Almanac.Although the prime aim of the course is to teach the practical skills of celestial navigation, it is emphasised that without knowledge, skill is nothing. At the same time, it is recognised that students quickly lose interest if they are expected to plough through reams of theory before they can get down to the business of learning the skills. With this in mind, this course has been uniquely designed to teach the important skills from the outset while 'tying-in' the relevant theory as progress is made. There are numerous examples and self-test exercises which enhance the learning process and help to embed the knowledge and skills needed to practise the art of celestial navigation.Although it is a large book (containing 324, letter size pages) it is thoroughly cross-referenced and its layout enables the reader to move from one section to another without having to read it from beginning to end. With regard to the mathematical aspects of the subject, the author has adopted a language style which allows the text to flow smoothly and makes for enjoyable reading which is a departure from the stilted, academic language of many text books.Note. The terms celestial navigation and astro navigation are generally regarded as synonymous.

Book Synopsis Celestial Navigation by : Jeff Toghill
Download or read book Celestial Navigation written by Jeff Toghill and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1986-06-03 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the uninitiated, celestial navigation appears to be a somewhat frightening exercise in mathematics. In fact, the maximum mathematics involved in the new sight reduction systems is the addition of three lines of figures. Similarly, the apparent complexities of the solar and stellar systems take on a less frightening appearance when related to the lighthouses and similar earthly objects used for coastal navigation. Throughout this book, the author uses such a comparison between earthly and heavenly objects in explaining the close relationship between coastal and celestial navigation. In doing so, he reduces a complex subject to a simple and interesting one that can be absorbed by even the most non-mathematically minded. The book concentrates for much of its length on the plotting of the boat's position by sun, planets, and stars when out of sight of land. It also deals with related navigational routines such as checking the compass by using heavenly objects, taking radio time signals, and adjusting the sextant for day-to-day corrections. This is celestial navigation in its simplest form, presented in a way which even the most amateur navigator can understand and absorb.
