Abstract

Abstract In an effort to add context to a classroom lesson on celestial navigation, we present a numerical adaptation of Captain T.H. Sumner's 1837 journey into St. George's Channel. The adaptation is programmed into a ‘live’ web-based map. This allows for a flexible and highly visual presentation that highlights two important topics in celestial navigation: the origin of the line of position and the scale of maps. Considerations driving the numerical adaptation are discussed, as is as an overview of a classroom lesson we have been using.

萨姆纳船长1837年旅程的数字改编:天文导航教学的背景

摘要为了给一堂关于天体导航的课堂课增添背景，我们对T.H.萨姆纳船长1837年进入圣乔治海峡的旅程进行了数字改编。自适应程序被编程到基于网络的“实时”地图中。这使得能够进行灵活且高度可视化的演示，突出天体导航中的两个重要主题：位置线的起源和地图的比例尺。讨论了驱动数字自适应的因素，以及我们一直在使用的课堂课程的概述。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
