Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is a position fixing technique that has evolved over several thousand years to help sailors cross oceans without having to rely on estimated calculations, or dead reckoning, to know their position.

Celestial navigation uses " sights ," or angular measurements taken between a celestial body ( the sun, the moon, a planet or a star ) and the visible horizon.

Celestial navigation continues to be taught to cadets during their training in the British Merchant Navy and remains as a requirement for their certificate of competency.

Celestial navigation continues to be used by private yachtsmen, and particularly by long-distance cruising yachts around the world.

Celestial navigation trainers combine a simple flight simulator with a planetarium in order to train aircraft crews in celestial navigation.

Celestial, terrestrial, electronic, and coastal navigation techniques are used to fix a ship's position on a navigational chart.

While a ship is underway, the officers navigate it, typically in three shifts or watches. Celestial, terrestrial, electronic, and coastal navigation techniques are used to fix a ship's position on a navigational chart.

In this image, North ( the direction towards the North Celestial Pole ) is up and East is left, and the white line is the rotational axis of Altair.

Alternatively, if a line is constructed perpendicularly between Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri, the point where the above mentioned line and this line intersect marks the Southern Celestial Pole.

Göktürks is said to mean " Celestial Turks ".

It is also hinted that the Celestial Intervention Agency will evolve into the beings of pure thought known as the Celestis, who observe the war from outside this dimension ( the Last Parliament in which they sit resembles the Panopticon on Gallifrey and the closest anyone gets to describing them is similar to the Time Lords ' robes ).

Copernicus's book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ( On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres ), published just before his death in 1543, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the scientific revolution.

Celestial coordinate systems are based on an " equator " and " equinox ," which means a great circle in the sky that is the projection of the Earth's equator outwards, and a line, the Vernal equinox intersecting that circle, which determines the starting point for measurement of right ascension.

Sigma Octantis, the southern pole star, is a magnitude 5. 46 star about 1 degree away from the South Celestial Pole.

The International Celestial Reference System ( ICRS ) is based on hundreds of extra-galactic radio sources, mostly quasars, distributed around the entire sky.

A related symbol is the flaming pearl which may be seen on such roofs between two dragons, as well as on the hairpin of a Celestial Master.

Consequently, τ Ceti itself is known as the " Fifth Star of Square Celestial Granary " ().

The applied tools of the mathematics disciplines of Celestial mechanics or its subfield Orbital mechanics ( both predict orbital paths and positions ) about a center of gravity are used to generate an ephemeris ( plural: ephemerides ; from the Greek word ephemeros = daily ) which is a table of values that gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time or times, or a formula to calculate such given the proper time offset from the epoch.

UT1 is the same everywhere on Earth, and is proportional to the rotation angle of the Earth with respect to distant quasars, specifically, the International Celestial Reference Frame ( ICRF ), neglecting some small adjustments.

In works of art, this Atlas is represented as carrying the heavens or the Celestial Sphere, on his shoulders.
