Crossing the oceans has been a human
achievement for thousands of years but how did those navigators find their way when there was no land, no mountains or familiar coastlines.
achievement for thousands of years but how did those navigators find their way when there was no land, no mountains or familiar coastlines.
Today we can traverse the world and know where we are very accurately at any time of day or night using satellite navigation systems. But that has only been in the last 40 years or so.
Find out how we can use the Sun, Moon, Planets and Stars to find out where we are and get a glimpse into the ancient skills of Navigating by the Stars.
Join us at the Carterton Events Centre on Monday 7 October, 8:00 pm for a glimpse into the world of Celestial Navigation as presented by Commander David Hedgley.
With almost 50 years of naval expertise, learn how navigating by the stars is an
essential skill – even with our modern navigation technology.
