The basis of Celestial Navigation is parallel light coming from celestial objects such as the sun and stars, and the curved surface of the earth. We use the measured (and corrected) angle from the Horizontal Plane to the Object to determine its 'altitude' and then apply the mathematics.
In this episode we look at a basic assumption of celestial navigation, that the rays of light from the sun arrive at earth in parallel.
