Hello!
With the news about Chinese deployment of a lunar module|rover - I am interested how it does its' navigation. Could it be CN? I doubt it is CN, but still.
For example, in which constellations a lunar observer would perceive positions of celestial poles? Do they (the poles) precess and nutate? If yes, by how much and how fast?
Regards,
Tony
