Navigation as a theme?
Couldn't spot it but wondered if our wonderful iceinspace has a thread on the Polynesian voyaging use of celestial navigation. We have Hokulea and other fine canoes, replicas of ancient Hawaiian/Polynesian design sailing out of Hawai`i and being used as marvelous instruments to get young folks interested in astronomy. I attended a lecture by one of the Hokulea crew at Imiloa, the University of Hawai`i connected planetarium in Hilo and I thought of my new friends here.
Aloha from the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
