Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences, and quite possiblythe oldest use of astronomy is navigating by the stars. This craft dates fromprehistoric times among humans, and is even practiced by certain animals.

It learns its orientation tothe night sky from its experience as a young bird observing the stars.
Some primitive tribesaccomplished amazing feats of pathfinding using only the sky as their guide.The Māori came to New Zealand from eastern Polynesia, probably in several waves between the years 1280 to 1300. With no instruments ortables to consult, they very carefully observed the night sky as well localweather patterns and ocean currents.
