Use what you have learned about celestial navigation to determine your latitude and longitude using the following data: • The date is June 21(this datum gives you the Sun's declination)

• The altitude of the Sun at solar noon is 35.5 degrees and it is in the southern sky (This allows you to calculate zenith distance and using the Sun's declination the latitude of the vessel)

• Your chronometer set for Greenwich (0 degrees) registers the time of solar noon to be 5:00 pm ( 5 hours later than solar noon at Greenwich - use this to calculate longitude keeping in mind the Earth rotates 15 degrees per hour from West to East)

What is your latitude and longitude?
