CELESTIAL NAVIGATION   "Children growing up in the final decades of the 20th century represent the first  generation in the history  of civilization to live in a world where the stars are almost certain to be the last thing noticed at night instead of the first." Terence Dickinson  Through many centuries the stars have been a navigational guide for several cultures.  The older methods of celestial navigation are becoming obsolete due to more recent technological advances in navigational devices. This project was divided into four components: traditional navigation, navigation without the use of devices, the development of celestial navigation devices, and the practice of modern celestial navigation.
