You're absolutely right, Brad. As I recollect, though, the original question had to do how one might navigate once had landed on an extra-solar planet.

It would seem that inter-stellar travel would indeed take some form of celestial navigation. The stars can be considered to be points within 3 space. As you move among them, the perspective of them will change while the positions of the stars do not. Your position in interstellar space is a function of finding the position that matches the perspective!It seems on the face of it to be a reasonable transformBradOn Feb 22, 2014 2:47 PM, "Marcel Tschudin" <marcel.e.tschudin---.com> wrote:
