Title: How do astronauts navigate in space?
Post by: Sandra Mafnas on 29/04/2011 10:30:03

Sandra Mafnas  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi Chris,

I love your show!! (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) 

My question is:
On earth we navigate by longitude and latitude.

Has the universe or space been mapped out to navigate that way?

If not how do current or future astronauts navigate in space?


Thank you,
