Nautical Almanac for the Year

The Nautical Almanac is a comprehensive publication that provides essential astronomical data for navigation at sea. It includes information on the positions of celestial bodies, such as the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, for each day of the year. Mariners use this data to determine their position on the Earth by observing these celestial bodies. By calculating angles between their location and the stars, sailors can plot their course and ensure safe travel. The Almanac is crucial for traditional navigation methods, enhancing understanding of time and space on the open ocean.
