10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! Based on estimates in our galaxy, astronomers have thought that more or less how many stars are there in our universe. "What?" You might ask. Well, if you have forgotten or lost) had your camping digital compass (or simply want to be challenged, you can use other methods to determine its location in the desert as lost. If you want to their camp, a neck cave or lake, or get an Amish Country Inn Berlin, New York, you can dowith Mother Nature, like a compass. Sounds interesting?
Viewing Method
If the clock's hands on them, the more you can say that the time to check what time an Amish Country Inn Berlin, New York. You can actually determine the directions with him!
As a digital compass, camping, keep the clock before you. So take a blade of grass, a twig or toothpick on the edge of the dial. The short article below, you have a shadow on the creationthe average wristwatch. Then you begin the shift clock. Keep doing this until the shadow bisects the distance between the hour hand and watch "12" on the clock.
Voila! Are you Northern Hemisphere, "12" on the clock in the south and the point "6" is to the north. However, if you are south of Ecuador, "12" points to the north and "6" points to the south.
Sun Shadow Method
This method is based on the length of the shadow of the sun changes slowly accordingLength from east to west. This is what you should do:
Find a flat surface or sand or earth, and clearly.
Search or stick, about 2-3 meters long
o Press the lever on the floor until it is perpendicular
o Make another small stick or small rock at the edge of the shadow line
Relax for half an hour or
Position or another stick or small rock at the end of the new line in the shade.
o The two poles or lines from east to west. The first marker Westand the second mark in the East.
o For the northern hemisphere, the North has created a right angle to the east-west (away from the sun). If you are in the southern hemisphere, then the South is perpendicular to the line.
Method of Moon Shadow
There is an interesting variation of Shadow the sun method, but uses light instead of the moon. Again, place a stick length of 2.3 meters on the ground. Use a string that is as long as the shadow of the moon, a circle around the barField. After an hour, keep checking the shadow long enough to touch the rim. This process is of 1:06 hours. A line between the points of shade is the original and the new east-west line. Determine the north or south, in the same way as the method of Sun Shadow.
Polaris (Pole Star) method
With this method, before the Big Dipper in the night sky. This is a group of seven stars in the constellation Ursa Major. Four of the stars form a container, while the other threeForm of a bar. Next, measure five times the length of the spoon, rising edge. You will see the North Star North Star, which is almost directly north. You can also use the constellation of Cassiopeia, which is the North Star. In a "W", the constellation points for the stars. See how other stars around Polaris constantly.
Of course with a digital compass is an increasing need for assistance from the mother for its location to determine the nature. But ifThey lost and the need to reach an Amish Country Inn Berlin Ohio or any other place at a time, watching the stars (or moon)!
