Why would it be more beneficial to have a star chart rather than a compass if you were lost on the moon?
It would be more beneficial to have a star chart than a compass because a compass only works on earth. The compass uses the magnetic field that is generated by the north side of the earth. On the moon, there is no strong magnetic field on the north side, making a compass useless in finding your way back.
