Salamander

Hello Salamander Nation,

After three days the celestial navigation team was able to find Polaris, despite the cloud cover, and took some sights. Polaris, commonly known as the North Star, is an importance reference point for celestial bodies as the stars appear to rotate around it.

Ethan took a series of sun sights and calculated our position within a few miles of our actual position. Kevin did a noon sight and calculated our latitude within a couple of miles of actual. Should the GPS fail we will be ready!

Happy Thanksgiving!
