Image credit: still by Fraser Gunn, additions by Ethan Siegel. This will get you latitude easily, but how about longitude? While there are some tricky things you can do to help yourself out, one of the most commonly used…
Extreme Tides!
The Truth is far more powerful than any weapon of mass destruction. -Gandhi Last time, I spoke to you about how tides work on Earth. In a nutshell, a nearby massive body (like the Moon or the Sun) pulls on the Earth's center due to its gravity.
