NAVIGATION BY THE STARS
Among the indispensable services rendered to mankind by the science of astronomy are aids to navigation and exactitude, in time keeping. The man who knows only a few of the heavenly bodies is never completely lost on land, sea, or in the air. This will form the subject of an address to be given at a meeting of the astronomical branch of the IRoyal Society to be held in the Museum this evening by Mr A. J. Maclvor. Mr Maclvor, who has served as a navigator and instructor in the iR.N.Z.A.F., will discuss the methods employed in the air services for determining position and fixing courses of aircraft while in flight. The meeting is open to all interested.
