Castle 1943 18min sd $24.26 629.13 sh-c-ad Produced by the U.S. Army Air Forces "This motion picture deals with the basic principles of the location of points on the celestial sphere. The introductory sequences present the various uses of celestial navigation and define celestial navigation as the location of places on the earth by means of celestial bodies. Diagrams are used to illustrate the fact that the earth Is not a true sphere and the nautical mile is described as 6,080 feet, or 1 degree. Diagrams, plus commentary, explain the relationship between the earth and the celestial sphere. There follows a pictorial definition of the zenith, nadir, sidereal hour angle, local hour angle, and bubble horizon."
