Phuket Word | Flat Earth Celestial Navigation 2 @PhuketWord | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In the 2nd in a series of videos, Navigating Flat Earth, we demonstrate and illustrate how celestial navigation is done across flat earth by measuring declination. Support Phuket Word on Patreon: patreon.com/phuketword Understand how angles and distances are calculated when navigating across flat earth by measuring angles using a sextant and how the angles of declination are converted into an imaginary globe, or distances are considered part of a great circle.
The video is in several parts to explain each step, so DO NOT SKIP, even if you already understand celestial navigation, because this video demonstrates how it is actually done across a level surface and how the declination of luminaries caused by perspective is turned into 360-degree circles in a way that you may not have been shown before.
Do not assume that great circles are slices of a globe. On the contrary. They are flat, circular planes.
Correction: At 46:27, the circle's radius should be 3,400nm, not 5,400.
