Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is the practice

of position fixing using stars and other celestial bodies that enables a navigator

to accurately determine their current location. Through the fundamental

elements of Celestial Navigation we were able to identify our

existence to a time and place continuity. It is a practice as old as time and

has taken many forms.

sky on the ground can lead to unique knowledge about our location. The

Emiraes constellation being sighted from the selected site is a miracuolous
