Question 80Navigation Problems

The correct answer is B) Kochab, Jupiter, Rasalhague. To determine the most suitable group of three celestial bodies for a fix at star time, we need to consider their magnitude, azimuth, and altitude. The group of Kochab, Jupiter, and Rasalhague is the best option because: 1. Kochab and Rasalhague are bright stars (magnitude less than 2) that are well-suited for celestial navigation, and Jupiter is a bright planet that can also be used for a celestial fix. 2. These three bodies are positioned in different parts of the sky, providing a good spread in azimuth for an accurate fix. 3. Their altitudes are also likely to be suitable for a fix, as they will be high enough in the sky to be easily observed and measured. The other options are less suitable because the selected bodies may not be as well-positioned or may not have the appropriate magnitude or altitude for an accurate celestial fix at the given time and location.
