Celestial navigation with very little math
Trammell Hudson
39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3): Power Cycles · Day 3 · Saal One
In an era dominated by ubiquitous Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the art of celestial navigation might seem like a relic of the past. However, Trammell Hudson's engaging talk, "Celestial navigation with very little math," delivered at 39C3, challenges this notion by demonstrating that these ancient techniques remain not only viable but also surprisingly accessible. Hudson, an individual deeply involved in sailing and maritime exploration, presents a compelling case for understanding fundamental navigation principles, particularly in scenarios where modern electronic aids may be unavailable or compromised.
