Sextants uses stars and a flat horizon to navigate if we were flying through space at the speeds you think we are going then the stars would be in different positions making it impossible to navigate. Only Globe earthers think the stars line back up while going all different directions in space lmao
"Sextants uses" ?
Your illiteratti word salad reveals you to not even be capable of posting a two sentence comment, without mauling BOTH sentences with missing punctuation, and and numerous misspellings.
While being demonstrably wrong about every word you tried to write.
Of COURSE using the stars work, people have been using them for 300 years,
moving entire fleets accurately and reliably, around the world.
You're too stupid to realize why the unchanging location of the North Star is important in star navigation.
Nobody has ever been able to make you remember, it never moves from it's relative location in the sky.
Sextants use stars and the visible horizon to navigate. Those navigational capabilities are used to detect LONGITUDE and LATITUDE,
Only an idiot such as yourself can manage to be wrong about every single thing you say, for weeks on end, about such a SIMPLE subject.
12 and 14 year old children learn to use sextants.
THEY'VE WORKED FOR 300 YEARS without FAIL. Entire navy groups sailing around the world successfully, accurately, using them.
You didn't even know navigation using the stars
is done TO FIND
LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.
Which only work on spheres, of a specific, and invariant diameter.
Military leaders, trade sailors, explorers have used sextants and the starts successfully for the past 300 years,
and today, even 12 and 14 year old children
are taught star navigation.
You didn't know people have been using these same Stars and sextants successfully for the past 300 years.
In chalking up how illiterate you are about any of this, you also just revealed you somehow don't know about the existence of celestial almanacs:
which navigators use to tell where certain celestial bodies will be, when,
as they move through the sky overhead.
"So what do navigators need to find their position on the earth's surface by observing the stars?
such as the sun, moon, planets, and selected navigational stars, are going to be,
hour by hour, years into the future, relative to the observatory that prepared the celestial almanac: Greenwich, England in modern times."

You literally have not been able to give ONE correct answer in here,
for nearly a WEEK.
