You are lost at sea, Fortunately you have some astronomical tables and instruments and a Universal time clock. 1. It is the spring equinox 2. The Sun is on your meridian at altitude 75 degrees in the south. 3. The UT clock reads 22:00
The questions are----What is your latitude? how do you know?
What is your longitude? how do you know?
Based on your position where is the closest land and which way do you have to go to get there. The third part is easy but my partner and I cant seem to get the first two even after running through our books like 100 times. Thanks for the help, I mean that!
