The article specifically discredits that earlier notion, and suggests a slightly different one.
No: "moon at fixed angle"
Yes: "sky is lighter, point topside at illumination to fly level"
- alkonaut 4y agoThat makes sense. But at night that makes it point topside at moon? Which is basically "constantly tilted" of the moon is low? (I read the article, but admittedly quickly, should probably read again)
- yencabulator 4y agoWhat I understood was, it's not really about the moon at all, just that "the sky" is lighter than "the ground", and roughly orienting based on that works as a heuristic. Light & dark hemispheres, not the brightest spot.
