WHAT DOES NAUTICAL ALMANAC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nautical almanac

A nautical almanac is a publication describing the positions of a selection of celestial bodies for the purpose of enabling navigators to use celestial navigation to determine the position of their ship while at sea. The Almanac specifies for each whole hour of the year the position on the Earth's surface at which the sun, moon, planets and first point of Aries is directly overhead. The positions of 57 selected stars are specified relative to the first point of Aries. In Great Britain, The Nautical Almanac has been published annually by HM Nautical Almanac Office, ever since the first edition was published in 1767. In the United States of America, a nautical almanac has been published annually by the US Naval Observatory since 1852. Since 1958, the USNO and HMNAO have jointly published a unified nautical almanac, for use by the navies of both countries. Almanac data is now available online from the US Naval Observatory. Also commercial almanacs were produced that combined other information.
