The scientist used an astrolabe to find the altitude of the sun and stars.
they used astrolabes, which is a tool that help you use the sun and stars find your location, and they used magnetic compasses.
The early travelers used the stars not to get lost. They took the direction of star and if moving in same direction, the star would remain in the same direction.
If all stars had the same absolute magnitude as our Sun, we wouldn't see many bright stars. Many of the stars that seem brightest to use are far, far away, but thousands of times brighter than our Sun. Those are relatively short-lived stars, many of them will live only a few million years. (Yes, this is short for a star; many stars, like our Sun, have life spans of billions of years.)
today scientists use telescopes, cameras, and computers to study how the stars and other objects in the sky seem to move. we have learned a lot about the stars since people looked at the sky thousands of years ago
Sun, stars, compass, GPS, maps
They used them to help them find their direction.
The Mycenaeans learned how to use the sun and stars to find their way to the sea.So they learned navigation by the sun and stars.

stars and sun so both
The Sun and its shadow. At night you can use the stars.
you cant really use any direction to locate the stars

the sun or the stars
Mostly hydrogen
