    Or, I think more likely, it was taken from the planet Vulcan. Based on the sun sun distance and the altitudes it was taken within two nautical miles of the temple of logic.

    Sirs,

    Recently, I became aware of the thesis written by Robert Genty, in tituled "Methode nouvelle de navigation astronomique". www.numdam.org/issue/these_1944_263_1_0.pdf.

    The paper intercrosses  many recent topics discussed on the forum and it might interest many readers.

    It also enlights the situation of the science in France during the second world war ( the last observations mentioned by the autor took place in the observatoire de Paris by the end of april 1944.

    It shows the willing to perform some applied science (may be scientists were unable to do something else because of the collapse of scientifics networks due to the continental blocade). Military implications, au nez et à la barbe , of the German occupants are obvious

    Best regards

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
