Using Stars to Navigate

How to navigate using the stars. For more information, I highly recommend Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time.

I freaking love your videos. Just have to watch each multiple times for the content to sink in and my brain to process lol

Good video explaining how GPS works; I feel that was the main purpose. I do like your video. One thing though - you covered really well the European history of star navigation from the 17th century forward. It would be quite interesting to cover the Polynesian/Islander way of using the stars to navigate in an effort to understand the "more ancient" use of stars for navigation.

Remarkable animation. I think you could use your skills to finally make celestial navigation readily understandable I wish you would consider that. Thanks very much.

Excellent Tutorial, Very well done and great graphics also. 👍👍

But the time is a bit slower up in the space then it is on the surface of the earth, so how exactly do GPS satellite compensate for that?

Could Gps work on a flat plane with antennas buy simple triangularion ? or by waves bouncing on stratosphere ?

There's hardly any explanation on what the title says, instead there're so many other nonsense explanation "nonsense, as per title".

Hmmm you seem to have completely skipped over the previous 2000yrs during which Polynesians successfully navigated the entirety of the Pacific.

We do not live on a spinning ball . The north star is visible from as far south as 23 degrees south latitude

No examples of any object by mass alone can attract other objects. There fore, gravity remains a theory and has yet to be proven.
Every claim to the proof of gravity is easily proven with tests of density and buoyancy.
